I'm an aqua woman 34 and me and this 41 year old cap guy started dating back in may/june. Everything was marvelous. He helped me move and since he just started a new job and his car broke down I let him use mine since I didn't drive to work. This went on for 2 months. He told me I was his girl, he loved me and please do not hurt him. He told me about his 14 year relationship with his now x wife who didn't kiss him never gave him oral sex and never showed him any passion. Then he told me about the girl who didn't work and smoked marijuana constantly around her daughter. Both of us have one daughter. He works alot, but that never bothered me because I attend classes at night, I work everyday and I'm a mom. He hadn't seen his daughter in a long time so when she came to visit for 5 days I allowed him to use my car to entertain her because his was in the shop. I thought this man was going to ask me to marry him one day. We had keys to one another's homes and like I said everything was bliss. Until his car was about ready to come out the shop, thats when he started acting distant and giving me the cold shoulder saying he's too busy for a girlfriend!!! Fast forward to march and we're talking again. He's still working around the clock and I'm still in school. We agreed that we'd be friends and be there for one another. We slept together. 3 weeks later he just won't even pick up the phone to say hello. So I have called to say hello how are you , but he just gives me one word responses if any at all. I asked whats his problem? He says he doesn't want to get close to anyone but he'll still give me the money that I asked for my upcoming trip. So today I just texted him and said "hey you just ran across my mind, just wanted to say hi! have a good day! No response. I'm sick and tired of him treating me like a non descript. When I sacrificed and gave so much and we shared so much. I told him that I don't want his money just leave everything as is. The last thing I want is to become a pest in his life. Why when I gave him what he wanted he kicked me to the curb? And to be so harsh like I could drop dead tomorrow and it would not phase him? It hurts to be treated this way. After everything we've been through. Am I wrong to expect more?
What is wrong with me? (Self Esteem shattered)

"Am I wrong to expect more?"
Expect more of what?
I saw the writing on the wall in sentences 5, 6 & 7 of your description above ..... and red flags started waving.
#5: Why would someone beg please do not hurt them? Especially when everything was marvelous and you were letting him use your car?
#6: Fourteen years is a long time to be in a relationship and the only thing he has to say about it is what was BAD, WRONG .... red flag.
#7: If a person doesn't like another to get high in front of their kids, then to allow it to happen to later bitch about how BAD the person was ....... another red flag waving.
It's quite obvious to me that he only saw what was WRONG with his women, while pleading for you not to hurt him ...... classic sign of a tosser.
Here you are wondering why you got kicked to the curb and quite frankly, you should done so to him the moment he started discrediting and dishonoring the women in his life.

Live and learn .. that's what life-experiences are for.
The next time you meet a man who dishonors the females he has shared his life with ..... swim immediately .... because this means he doesn't have respect for women.

whats a tosser?

Hay Aqueen.
I was reading your story and mine is somewhat similar. I was with a cap man for 3 and half years. It never changes it never gets better it only gets worse. Fond yourself a good man with a different attitude.
Thats what I had to do. Cap is still around but I refuse to get back with him......
Good luck you deserve sooo much better......
Damaged men are hard to change. Its hard to make them see that there is a light at the end of the tunel..... So don't even try....
