She stayed the same and you accepted it and took her back. That is not working through it. Plus she cheated on you so she isn’t worth your time anymore.

So you were a convenience for her, not a person she was interested in.

If true, and give her ability to lie to you, that’s a big if, but if true that’s sad. That’s also not your problem. If she needs help for that, then her using you and you abusing yourself will not help either of you.

It wasn’t. It was a game. It was a way to toy with you. She even told you, so I don’t have to.

Well you can’t help her find herself. Only she can do that.

I don’t know if I believe her. She controls you through making you feel bad for her, so what’s to stop her from making up this story so that you feel bad for her, try to do nice things for her, and she never has to put out. And that’s exactly what happened.
Let’s assume it is true that she was abused. How is punishing yourself going to help her? How is it going to get you into a relationship with her?

Please help if you can.
Quite honestly, you have to quit talking, texting, emailing or contacting her in any way. You need to remove her from your life because she doesn’t put anything positive into it. In fact she drains life from you, as you would probably agree with me on. So drop her and then grieve for a little bit and then start making yourself happy again.
