In my first year on campus, I got heartbroken by my first ever girlfriend, Sandra. I had given my all to the relationship, but it ended in disappointment. The breakup affected me deeply. For almost three months I was inconsolable. I thought I wouldn’t get over it but eventually, I healed and moved on.

I used to be the kind of guy who believed in being faithful to one woman. All of that changed after my heartbreak. I became protective of my heart. I didn’t want to commit to anyone seriously and get hurt. However, I had sexual needs. So I started engaging in casual sex with different ladies just to satisfy my needs.

When I finally decided to enter a relationship again, I found a beautiful lady, and we started something nice.  Linda and I enjoyed all the good things love had to offer. We had a few misunderstandings here and there, but we always managed to resolve them. I felt truly happy to have her as my girlfriend.

The problem began when I met Vanessa. We were just friends at first but eventually, she became someone  I was interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with. I didn’t tell her I had a girlfriend. Rather, I proposed love to her. You should see how happy I was when she agreed to be with me. It was as if I didn’t already have someone who loved me.

Neither of the ladies found out they were two. I kept this up until I lost interest in my main girlfriend and broke up with her.

I didn’t break up with Vanessa, though. I made her my serious girlfriend. I was sure it was just going to be the two of us until I began dating another lady secretly. Amara was everything I thought I needed.

Just like the previous time, I lost interest in my serious girlfriend after I started seeing someone else on the side. Thus my relationship with Linda also ended. After that, I promised myself that I wouldn’t look at any other woman apart from Amara. She became my main girlfriend.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t stick to only her. This cycle has become my life. When I am dating someone, I can’t stick to only her. I end up cheating, and then the “main” relationship ends.

Just two weeks ago, my six-month relationship with Cynthia ended. I tried so hard to be faithful to her but I couldn’t do it. Getting to the end, I was seeing someone else behind her back. Now, I’ve started another serious relationship with Dora, the person I was cheating with.

Today, I sat down to reflect on my life, and honestly, I feel devastated. Is this what I’ve become? What happened to the man who once believed in commitment and loyalty?

I keep asking myself if this is because of the heartbreak I went through years ago. Could it be that I never truly healed from my breakup with Sandra? I don’t want to use that heartbreak as an excuse for my actions, but I can’t help wondering if it’s the root cause.

I don’t want to be the kind of man who keeps hurting women because I can’t keep it in my pants. So I want to know how I can break this pattern. Maybe someone here is a retired player and can give me advice on how to change and stick to only one woman going forward. I need all the help I can get.
