Dear Thelma: I gave her everything but she dumped me


thelma_drained_ach

I had been dating this girl for about 15 months. From the beginning, I already knew she was hard to love. We met online. She hurt me countless time and I shed tears.When she asked for things, I gave because I love her: Job, room, car, money, time, love, space, understanding.Whenever and whatever she asked, I gave, no matter what. Yet she questioned whether she could trust me with her future.

Perhaps I was too easily swayed. I changed jobs, rooms, routines, even the car because it would give us an advantage in the future.
