"Crazy" girlfriends of Reddit, what's YOUR side of the story?

I have no doubt I was the crazy ex. Surprisingly he was very patient and always handled my antics pretty nicely. When I was an underclassman in high school, I got really attached to an older guy. After a couple nights of video chatting, he would ask me to slowly do "favors" for him over video. I was too naive to notice that he didn't like me back or that he only saw me as a booty-call. Once I lost my virginity to him, he stopped contacting me, and I started getting desperate. I pretended to have a miscarriage, and I constantly messaged him despite knowing he was not interested anymore. I would walk past his house whenever I had the chance, and even tried to see him at his work. After finding out he got a girlfriend right after I lost my virginity to him, I slowly started becoming anorexic because I thought he didn't like me cause of my fat. I even tried talking to his girlfriend to get closer to her. After two years of feeling like shit and obsessing over something that was never there, I forgave him and myself and moved on. I admitted everything I did to him and I apologized, although I know that nothing can really excuse creepy and disrespectful behaviors like pretending to have a miscarriage. He was nice enough to also apologize for using me and leading me on. I don't think there really is a moral to this story except that some people can go really crazy sometimes... Even though I knew what I was doing was weird, I still did it because I was constantly justifying my actions with my anger. I do have to say though, going through this extremely low point in my life helped me learn to never disrespect myself in that way again. Now I am in a healthy relationship and going to my dream college, and I couldn't be happier that he is gone from my life.
