Him: 52 years old, divorced, retired ex-employee in the US. Me: 35 years old, corporate employee, a strong, independent woman, but with a fragile, sometimes naive heart that falls for emotionally unavailable men. Single for 2 years.

I met a 52-year-old man online, and what started as a promising connection turned into a painful experience. I fell for his kindness and attention, but over time, red flags emerged—he avoided meeting in person, grew distant, and showed disinterest in truly connecting. Even after finally meeting, his actions left me feeling hurt and unimportant. Despite my efforts to make things work, he became colder, and I realized I was holding onto something that wasn’t real.On the night of December 25th, he gave me a "Christmas" gift I will never forget—those painful words from his sharp tongue that made my eyes well up with tears. Minura ko sia once because I didn’t know what better defense there was than a curse. I felt sorry but said bye.As 2024 ends, I’ve decided to leave him and this pain behind, praying for strength and a better 2025.

**Actually mahaba to pina-summarize ko lang kay ChatGPT but still added personal bits and pieces. LOL. Sana merry ang Christmas niyo. 🥲😅
