I stayed up late talking to and worrying about someone because they were in a bad place mentally and I've been there plenty times before so I'm very sympathetic to those situations. She told me things that made her get my sympathy and then the next day I found out those things weren't true. She also said we could be friends and now she ignores me. Irony is she felt so alone and down because a friend of her had started to ignore her. Now her and that friend are great now and I got tossed aside. It's happened before with people who just need someone for a night and I'm ok with that but idk I thought this person was different. I feel cheated. I was just used for emotional help when no one else would listen and I told her so much personally and then she tosses me aside. Anyone else have this happen to them?

Sad, I can relate, but instead of that person being a friend, it was a partner.

Long story short, she didn't have many friends, and I reached out, eventually we ended up dating, then after about 4 months, she just texted me saying she wasn't ready to date anyone (kinda late, yeah?) and that I was just a rebound, but wanted to assure me she didn't cheat (not sure why that came to her mind, but I get the feeling I know why). A few weeks later, she was with a guy who looked like a store brand version of me, that she used to take to while we were together. Yeah sure, didn't cheat.

But hey, I believe in Karma, and I can sleep at night knowing I didn't screw someone over like she did. XD

I'm sorry, and a lot of people do it. Yes, you were used, and yes, it's awful. But it doesn't mean anything bad about you- you did what you thought was best. You're a good person, and that's what you have to remember. Sometimes people are mean, but you are better than that. Don't lose that.
