Dealing with unreliable boyfriend

Hi @Bridgetjones

I believe you have every right to be indignant at being treated with such disrespect of your feelings and welfare. And these feelings of anger is not such a bad thing if it propels you into action to protect your own self esteem by sending a clear message to the other person that you won't tolerate being treated so by not giving him the time of day.

Anger is only unhealthy if it is turned inwards towards self resulting in low worth and depression. Also if it develops into negative rage and revenge.

To avoid that type of destructive rage I would see this as a sign that this relationship is not good for me and that I am better off alone with dignity rather than being with someone who strips me of it. Better to be alone than being with someone who lowers my self esteem making me feel more depressed than I would be alone with my self respect intact.

You deserve better - always tell yourself that. Hugs xx

I think you should limit your contact with this person and find some new friends.

If you are feeling lonely thinking about starting some new hobbies or reconnecting to old hobbies if that is what makes you happy.

You could join a gym

Volunteer work

You might want to set yourself some goals to give yourself some direction too @Isla

I hope this helps and you always come back here to find some support and friendship too.
