the only problem there is the "ex" part... if she buys you knives, she might be a keeper
That's a long story I usually dislike going into.
You see, trust is foundation of any relationship, therefore I cannot date someone I can't trust.
She first broke my trust when I caught her lying to me, and she kept lying into my face despite the fact we both know I know the truth. She confessed only after I wanted some space, since that was just insulting to me. Anyways since it wasn't a big lie (about something very important) I let it slide...
And then later again she even tried to claim she never lied and it was just misunderstanding, despite the fact I asked direct questions and she knowingly gave false answers...
And then I catch her in lie again, just about something else... and this entire process repeats.
Then she becomes passive agressive to me and tries to "get even" by trying to hurt me.
That's when I finally got pissed and broke up with her.
After she begged me to take her back for 2 weeks - I did...
...only to regret it within a month.
As you can guess, she lied to me yet again. This time it was something more serious and she denied it yet again, and I just broke up with her right away.
Then, she even went as far as to reach out to some of my friends to ask them to tell me to talk to her again...
As I kinda bump into her here and then and we get pretty well unless we're dating - I agreed to be friends with her.
Lately she thinks she can make up for everything by buying me stuff.
She even offered me to come live at her place since my house is now cracked, but I declined.
To sum it up, she didn't just break my trust, she completely annihilated it. It's basically disintegrated.
I also never knew the reason for it, I was never overreacting or making a drama
