26 and taking the red pill this time around

So a little bit about my situation and where I come from…Came up in the upper middle class, but had a set of parents that divorced around 5. My dad was a typical alpha. Football captain, international businessman…etc. Mom was your typical high school beauty queen. Never had to work hard in life to get what she wanted. Long story short they divorced and I was indoctrinated and subconsciously programmed to reject masculinity growing up. My dad would always tell me….wait until you reach 25 and then you’ll see. Well he was f~~~ing right. I mainly casually f~~~ed girls in school because I didn’t want to risk commitment and have to deal with the politics of a high school dating scenario. First commitment I made was to a smoking hot cheerleader with nice t~~~, a great ass and a killer tan. She dumped me in front of all of my friends at my best friends party. Sucked it up, was p~~~ed but made my way down to panama for Spring Break and f~~~ed around with some strange to get over it. Realized at that point I just didn’t want commitment and rather than pursuing college I took years off to travel the states, party, experiment with drugs and work. I eventually get tired of that and come home to re-enroll in college in pursuit of a career in law and begin running frequently, competing in marathons…etc. Well I decided it was time to reach out to old contacts and see what everyone was up to. A girl who I was somewhat of a friend with in highschool happened to be the target. I had concert tickets to a rock show in Philly and just flat out sent an invite to her. After a couple exchanges we found ourselves caught up in what many refer to as “the honeymoon phase” I was riding the high, while remaining blind to all things I didn’t want to see. We took trips, had great frequent sex and hung out for 5-6 months when out of nowhere she dumps her s~~~ on me. Tells me she needs space because she isn’t over her married professor that she f~~~ed for 3.5 years yada yada yada. I’m not a jealous dude and I didn’t really care about all that. I just wanted a female with similar interest who just happened to be really good looking and a fantastic lay to hang around for a bit. Well I get fed all the lines….”you’re my bestfriend now” “I still wanna take our trips and fulfill our plans for the spring.” …etc. I find myself completely confused, p~~~ed, hurt, baffled by all of this bulls~~~ so I decide to start looking for answers….after weeks and months of research….Here I am dudes and I couldn’t be happier. This place is a Godsend especially for a young dude like me who is still watching his friends get eaten alive all around him. Can’t tell you how appreciative I am for some of the advice and wisdom I’ve gained from this site.
