Sadly, I'm not *that* young. I'm 34, I should know better. I haven't been in a situation quite like this before however. But I think you are right. I've been doing a lot of soul searching and wondering why I would put up with someone such as this, in the end I realize I did it out of loneliness. It's been a learning experience. It sucks to let him go but I have completely removed him from my life, and I will get over it quickly.
