“I Gave Him Everything… And He Still Left Me”

In this episode of Real Love Scenario, we unpack a heartbreaking story from a listener who gave everything — emotionally, financially, and mentally — to someone who couldn’t give the same in return. After a long-distance relationship turned live-in, she discovered he was still entertaining his ex and other women. Despite her love and support, he chose to leave without a word and claimed he preferred relationships that required “less.” Now in therapy and on a journey to heal, she’s left asking the question so many of us face after a painful breakup: Was it me? Or was he never capable of loving me in the first place?

💬 Let us know in the comments: What do you think — was she asking for too much, or was he not ready for real love?

🧠 Topics Discussed:
• Emotional labor in relationships
• Long-distance love & false promises
• Being the giver in a one-sided relationship
• Healing, therapy, and self-worth
• When love isn’t enough
