    I always felt like I was acting a certain way just to make my current girlfriend stay around.

    That is so sad that you felt that way. I never catered to anyone just to keep them around, and I hope you can learn to do so, too (like, actually doing so, not just avoiding romance entirely as a bypass).

      Tbh, I was a bit of a jerk. I wouldn’t have wanted to be around me if I acted “natural.”

      When the only options are players of the game, it may not be by choice.
