My ex consistently chose ego over love. This is someone who had cheated on me more than once, and I still forgave him. I also noticed a strange pattern: every time I was preparing for exams, issues would suddenly arise between us, almost like a distraction, and I began to see it as a bad omen. The breaking point came when his aunt visited from the U.S. with her kids. We were preparing for a road trip, and as a supportive girlfriend, I helped her pack while also arranging both my things and his. In the rush, I forgot my bag in the hotel room. Just two minutes after we left, I realized and told him. Instead of showing understanding, he shouted at me in front of his aunt, her kids, and his elder brother as if I had committed a serious offense.
I was embarrassed but raised the issue later, hoping he would reflect. For days, he refused to admit fault. On the third day, he gave an insincere apology with excuses. After that, he ignored my calls, and when he finally answered, he ranted, ended the call, and cut me off. Surprisingly, his family and friends blamed me and even insisted I apologize. Out of respect, I still visited his mother with a gift and bought things for the kids, but she never even acknowledged it. So now I ask, after forgiving his past betrayals and enduring constant ego, was I really the problem?
