I'm having an internal struggle that affects my self-respect.
I'm a 23 year old woman, and I was in a relationship for three and a half years with a guy I've known for five years. I thought we were in love and that we were going to get married, even though we didn't state it out loud.
He asked me for intimate photos back in October 2025, and I sent them to him because I trusted that he wouldn't ask for them if he was planning to leave me. Then, months later, he told me he didn't love me.
I left him in March, but I feel extremely guilty and humiliated. I feel like I would never be loved if someone knew about this, and I feel disgusted with myself because I know he still has the photos.
He was my first love, I don't know how I will overcome these feelings. I feel used, and I don't have friends to help me
