A first love or a first experience?

The year is 2013 and I am definitely bored... The island I was living in at the moment is quite "nothing new", beach, bars,tourists and that's about it. I was a teacher at a private school here, however I'm simply bored so I went through the list of blocked contacts on Facebook and one caught my attention. I used to be very reserved so if some guy tried to approach me I would be very reserved, I hadn't come to terms with the fact I was gay but living alone kinda sparked a different state of mind. So on my blocked list I saw somebody cute, unblocked him ans wrote him a message back. Few minutes later I got a response and we started talking  more and more everyday, long story short we became a couple but we were leaving in different cities, not a real problem I had a good salary and was able to afford trips back and forth for him and not me becayse I had a busy schedule. When he came to visit me we went everywhere, we ate wherever and whatever we wanted  , money was not a problem, he would get drunk and I'd deal with it, put him to bed and make breakfast.
I never realized how far I had fallen, I was turning into a wife/husband under the conventional definition of both what I mean is that I was cooking, cleaning, providing and being a moral support but I still had none. He said and always thought he was being there for me, but whenever I tried to communicate he would make it about him and then I would turn into a cushion again. This went on for 8 months and I'm not even telling you about how jealous he used to be. I don't have the conventional look of the people from the country I live in. I'm skinny, blonde, blue eyes so when I walk on the street people tend to stare, Ok, maybe not stare but at least "glance" so naturally whenever I felt eyes on me I looked up, whoever it might have been it was just a simple reflex, but he would het mad at me and then just stop talking to me for a while because he always thought I eas looking to cheat on him like his ex did. In my mind it never ocurred to cheat on him and you know what 3 years after and I still get scared of looking up I guess you can say I'm living with side effects. I simply wanted support and I ended up becoming a column to the Parthenon. I guess I expected more than what I got. 

Whinning!!

I sure sometimes forget what is like to be close to somebody, of course my friends but really? Are they my friends when they don't even know the real me? The misadventure my life has turned to? The fact that Im attracted to men? Too many questions that I really don't know how to answer, I sometimes feel drowned in insecurities, yet I disguise them in jokes and subject changes. Normally I'm Ok with who I have become, I'm well known in school so I enjoy some social amenities and teachers never complaint about having me in their class, gues I'm not that undesirable... Perhaps for you to understand my whinning you need to know about my past.
