Sounds like you shouldn't be in a relationship. Or be in an open relationship?

I've come across a few woman like this, some people refer to them as "damaged goods" or "toxic individuals".

I'll be honest, I don't think this is something you can change. People can't change deep rooted feelings/attitudes that have been ingrained into them through past experiences/relationships (think, observing family relationships that were similar, mom/dad toxic relationship ect). It's almost like how narcissists can't be cured of their narcissism, only treated. (although we all have narcissistic traits to some degree).

My advice - just be upfront with your future partners. Tell them this is how you are, so that when they engage in an argument with you, they know not to become invested into the heat of the moment as that is something you thrive in inadvertently.

And regarding this dude, do the right thing. If he's a nice guy, as you say, but you don't see him as a potential long term partner, tell him and let him move on.

He’s been cheating on his boyfriend for years, he’s not going to stop.

Because you don't like yourself.

so i'll be stuck in this cycle forever? that sucks. part of me likes the idea of like, a cute relationship but the other part of me just can't stand it.. i kinda feel safer when someone else is completely in charge if that makes sense

I'm not talking about external appearances, but how you feel about yourself deep down inside. I've read a lot of your threads, not just this one, and came to that conclusion a while ago.
did you let him nut inside you a lot of women prefer men like that maybe it is to do with testosterone or evolution or something
I think if he was a real nice guy type, you were probably just being normal tbh. I have learned the hard way that being the nice guy isn't what most girls want, they usually prefer someone more confident and masculine than all sweet and nice.
