10 reasons i fell for a douchebag

created by jesskuhn on Sep 10, 2009 | category: Lifestyle

So i fell for this douchebag, right? and he left me with a wedding almost completely planned, a 6 week old daughter, and a broken heart... wanna know why he got me hooked?

1. the way he makes me laugh, even when i wanna cry.

he had the best sense of humor ive ever seen. damn it.

2. the way he was never afraid to say what was on his mind.

he was always a little TOO mouthy, but i loved it.

3. the way he called me baby.

i can still hear his voice in my head. that bastard.

4. the way he protected me.

no one could ever piss me off without having him stepping up. and hes a pretty big dude.

5. the way he flirted with me.

even after being together 3 years, he still hit on me.

6. the way he kissed me.

they are the only lips ive known for 3 years, and they fit perfectly with mine.

7. the way he always knew what was going on in my head.

no matter how hard i tried to hide it, he always knew what was wrong.

8. the way he talked about me.

his family loved me, and i always got to hear how in love he was.

9. the way he KNEW me.

every inch of my body, mind and soul.

10. the way he turned into my best friend.

so many laughs and good times. he was my friend for 3 years before we dated, and he turned into my best friend. the only person i needed in life.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

in conclusion...

i miss him every single day, more and more with every breath i breathe. even though i know he doesnt deserve a minute of my time, i would give him every second i had. fucker.

So what you are saying is that all the things a guy or even a player can do or say to make you feel special and feel wanted; the superficial things; got to you.

That is a warning to everyone. Love is action; not words or how someone makes you feel; it's what they do.

When we are in love; especially women; they are more into the feeling of it; how does this guy make me FEEL. Guys know this.

We also romanticize our relationships after they end; we make them out to be so much more magical and special then they really were. Many people cheat and use people and even have unprotected sex and have children then they bolt. Obviously it wasn't magical for them.

Anyone having unprotected sex is insane anyways but to possibly have a child with someone when you dont' absolutely know who they are is crazy.

Again, if someone tells you they love you but they are messing around with someone else, or not be there when they need to be, then they dont love you.

We all get caught up in feelings but love is much more than a warm and fuzzy feeling. It's actions and being there during are worst and most ugliest times. Hopefully character is a huge thing in all our choices. That will limit the mistakes.

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Sorry but didn't he left you and your baby. He broke heart and yet you write all these "sugary" stuffs about him.
Just don't get it. It's kindof an excuse for men to treat you like a doormat. Hope things work out for you and your daughter though.

I'm with mjames interpretation of your words. What you miss is how he made you feel. How did he influence your perception of your surroundings when you were with him.

YOur heart is in the right place. YOu are full of love. And you know exactly the kind of love you want. Be thankful for the time you had him...not a lot of people get to have and know love like that.

Heartache is very difficult to overcome, but it can be done. And at risk of sounding like a walking cliche, I'll say it will take time. But you will overcome this as you'll overcome everything that comes your way.

Sorry to tell you, but you'll miss him for a very long time, and everytime you look at your baby's face, you'll see him there. And he'll come back to you...only thing is, you won't be at the same place he left you...so he might not find you.

Just hang in there.

Sorry that happend to you, guys can be douchebags and the more you love them the more you give them. You just got to think is using you and thats a sad statement but it works the same way for woman to though. I am really sorry hope things work out for the best, like my dad says they are a dime a dozen. Keep your head up up high, because if you don't you will miss the stars.

sounds like you are both in love. plus a child!!! I would be little surprised if as you may be reading this, he is directly behind you. massaging the back of your head, as warm, tiny kisses fall upon your neck, head, and cheek.

First of all, are you on your mind. Affirm me dat 'am not wrong .... with a thought of yours to expect him to read this someday and reach out to you.

Well, u feel it, u better do it... meaning, catch him whereever he is and tell him that you need HIM and in case of another side of a coin; that being your anger and "0" understanding, try to change a bit to win him back.

After all, that cute baby needs ..... the father. I was just born and too late to stop my damn "DAD" Well, i've outgrown that to face and move on in life..wish me gud luck for i must make things better and better and better.......I wish u gudluck to stop all of us 2 sing the sadsong 4 ya but hear u both 2gder again.dancing rolling on the floor laughing yay

You don't want him thinking about that.If you think life is like a movie it aint in some circumstances but not all the time. Where is your pride as a woman. straighten your life out an move on. best luck to you and your baby.

I know what you mean...that sense of humour, the ability to read your mind... psychic connection...something had to have gone wrong, but you didn't resort to that predictable lure of negating all that happened. That's quite a feat. Don't fall into the trap though of idealising and forgetting all the crap. He must of had some faults and I'm guessing they were pretty dire. If not, and I'm wrong then I suggest you try and sort it out. That sort of connection is truly difficult to find.
