I recently just came to the realization that someone who I thought cared about me was using me for his own emotional support. Basically he kept me around and made me feel like his girlfriend because I made him feel good about himself and was a boost for his ego all while not wanting to commit to me. This has been going on and off for about a year and a half and yes I feel like an idiot but I always made excuses for him. And now that he’s in the Navy and no longer needs me or the emotional support he has completely dropped me and has been very formal and dry with me. Does anyone have any advice on how to get over a relationship that never happened. I know these types of feelings don’t get a lot of attention because they are seen as kind of irrelevant because there was no actual relationship but it still hurts! Any advice?
