DA’s are hyper independent

My ex had an extremely difficult childhood. Had to figure things out for most of his life and absolutely hates his father. I recall bringing up that my parents would give us some money for wedding preparations and he got extremely upset stating his family is the type to do everything on their own. He was dealing with a lot of bs before we broke up and I supported him in ways I regret, he never opened up about how he truly was feeling and would’ve rather made my day miserable to relieve stress. He 100% claims nobody has been there for him. He found a new gf pretty quickly and I’m slowly recovering from it, from what I heard she’s the same and posts about being dependent, rich and controlling her tall boyfriend, all the things he hates about a female, the irony.

I can’t help but feel like I dodged a bullet, imagine going through life telling yourself you don’t need anyone and looking down on others. I regret sacrificing so much for this guy.
