I dated Rick for just under 6 months and it was a whirlwind of a relationship that ended in much heartbreak on my end. Rick is an insecure love bomber who emotionally manipulates you.
It starts off great but he moves fast. I met his mom in the first week. He talked about going on a trip two weeks into dating we go a month later. He pays for it (which is nice) and loves to travel. I met his dad and close friend group quickly after that and then talks about marriage a few months into the relationship, he makes you feel like one of a kind and you’re “the one” but doesn’t actually do anything to back it up.
We talked about moving in together and I began making space and buying things for my home. But when I tried to set a date for this, he would tell me he needs more time and wants to get some other things done before he moves in. That was fine by me but time went on, and nothing was happening.
He dumped me because he said he didn’t like my potty humor and my spiritual side. I felt this was something he could have addressed a month into the relationship and not six months in when you’re talking about moving in and marrying someone.
Rick is a poor communicator if something bothers him. He is deeply insecure about talking about the past. He felt he communicated just fine in our relationship but the break up came as a complete shock to me. If potty humor was a dealbreaker, he could have said something sooner.
I am very disappointed in this man, and I hope no one else suffers the same pain I did. I hope no one gets emotionally manipulated like myself. I’ve never dated a love bomber, but he checks off all of the boxes. Be careful.
