The Time I Fell for a Trap

We met, fell in love, and then the worst thing possible happened. We broke up. But our story doesn't end there.

I eventually moved on and then I heard from him again. I didn't know what to expect. He hadn't been talking to me and then when he did, it was because he wanted to threaten me. He wanted to go and tell my mom that I was pregnant, which I wasn't. I agreed to meet with him to make sure he didn't come near my family, only me.

"It hurts me to see you with someone else. I don't like the thought of you with anyone else because you're supposed to be mine. I love you," he blurted as I had gotten in the truck that day. I froze not knowing what to say or do. I got confused because he had grown distant before we had even broken up.

"Jack, why now? Of all times, you do this once I'm in a relationship and happy again after you abandoned me to go back to your ex," I said calmly even though I wanted to scream out loud in anger. I had wished that I hadn't agreed to this. I thought it was a mistake.

"I don't want her. I made a mistake in letting you go and I regret it so much. Baby, please give me another chance," he pleaded with me. In my head, I ran all the possible outcomes and none are good. I didn't know what to do.

"Give me time to think. I have a boyfriend and I have to figure out if it's worth leaving him to come to someone who will most likely just leave again over and over," I said angrily. How did he not realize that his actions have consequences? He should've realized that my immediate answer would've been no. But part of me still loved him. So I decided to give him another chance.

"Fine. One more chance, Jack. You mess up one more time and I will be gone permanently. No responses or anything," I agreed. He nodded his head, accepting my terms. But I kept my guard up because I didn't trust him.

A few weeks later, I find out through a mutual friend of mine and my now ex best friend that she was talking to my boyfriend. I didn't know what to say because by this time, I had let my guard down and was fully in love again. So I confronted him and he denied it. But then I messaged Courtney and she said that yes, they were together. So I left.

Soon enough, I get contacted by him, He wanted me back saying the same things he had said before. I wanted to trust him. But I already given him to chances. I can't allow myself to go back down that crooked road.

Now I had fallen still for him and I didn't want to just walk away. So I gave him one more chance. Only for the past to repeat over and over. I gave up on him and it was ever lasting because all he had done was lie and hurt me over and over.

I finally left this last time and I haven't looked back this time around. I gave him plenty of chances and I refused to let him have more than six chances to prove himself to me when all I got was hurt.
