Parasite

 

Parasite

When I was 40 years old, I was dating someone four years older than me.

 She once said, ‘My only flaw is that I cannot love people.’ In the end, we stayed together for about two and a half years before breaking up. Can you understand the psychology of someone who says they cannot love?

She often showed a disdainful attitude toward me, such as calling me ‘the trash-takeout man.’ The reason we broke up was that she called me a ‘parasite’ while we were out together, which led me to walk away. 

I am the type of person who always wants to love someone and work hard for them, so I wonder if her inability to love stems from some very deep emotional wounds in her past. 

Because I loved her, part of me didn’t want to break up.
