For those who have experienced being used by someone they were interested in or talking to, how long did it take you to realize you were being taken advantage of?

And a little add on question for those who want to talk a bit more abt their story, did you stay despite knowing you were used? I’ll go first, for me it was within a month as I didn’t have hard evidence at the time, it was just a gut feeling but that still should’ve been a sign to me nontheless. But once a month passed I knew 100%. I stayed…regardless…for 5 years…first love tooyikes it happens. That was def a lesson for me and not anything meant to be long term.
