Input: Background: I (18F) was abandoned by my mother three years ago, which left me and my life in complete shambles. I’ve recovered miraculously but it’s left some permanent scars, one of which I realized is the fear of abandonment.

Anyways, enter ex bf. We’ll call him Jaden. 

Jaden was my first love. I shared everything with him, we connected in a way I’ve never connected with anybody else before. Everything in our relationship was fine, I tried my hardest not to let my issues get the best of me.

Jaden has a reputation for being a player.

So Jaden up and left me out of the blue one day, with no second thought, despite him “being in love with me” and knowing about my issues. I was crushed, the worst heartbreak I have ever experienced by far. He started dating somebody the day we broke up. 


A few months go by and Jaden comes back around. Basically leads me on for about three weeks before deciding to call it quits once again. I’m fine this time around and just grateful to finally be over and done. No more stressing. I had worked too hard to keep him around.

I start seeing somebody new. Then, Jaden comes back and tells me how sorry he his for treating me like someone unimportant and that I meant a lot to him. I broke things off with the other guy and Jaden and I are rekindling.

Anyways, more often than not I lay into him for the way he’s treated me. I tell him how heartbroken and abandoned I felt, and that if something were to happen again I’d be truly done. No forth chances. 

He’s been really understanding and apologizes profusely but I can’t trust him anymore and need him to understand that he hurt me. 

AITA?

TL;DR I have abandonment issues and currently make my exbf (soon to be bf again) feel guilty for leaving time and time again and coming back only when it’s convenient for him.
