I travelled to the other side of the world and rented an Airbnb for two weeks to be with a woman i met online, she left early because i didn't pay for dates and claimed that her grandfather had a heart attack.
I spent 20+ hours on a flight, paid for the airbnb and she still expected me to pay to go out to resturuants every day. She called me childish because i didn't do that.
I sacrificed a lot just to make that trip, I had to sell my Nintendo 3ds and several Rare video games I had to get enough money. Had no job at the time as well.
Despite this woman being older by 5 years and a gold digger i still wanted to be with her, she got more and more distant over text until i finally snapped back to reality and just broke up with her.
This was the darkest time in my life and an excellent learning experience. I don't think any story in this thread would beat mine, I'm ashamed at how pathetic i was back then.
