Q: Just Need to Tell Someone...

Well tonight my bf and I broke up. We had been going out for 11 months (my longest relationship ever). I thought at one time that this was the guy that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, even though im only 18. I guess you could say my 'first love' as well. Anyways, I had told him awhile ago that I didn't want to go away to school somewhere and leave him behind (he's only 17, and going into gr.12 this fall). And he informed me that I shouldn't put my life on hold for him because he didn't want a serious relationship because we don't live in the same place (1 hour away from each other). I also told him that I loved him, and he continued to tell me that he couldn't say it back because he didn't know what love was. Yah, talk about a kick in the @$$ eh?


Well that was about 2 weeks ago, and I had been thinking ever since then that if this wasn't going anywhere, why should I continue wasting my time if you will. Also since then he had been acting weird around me, he wouldn't talk to me like he once did, and he wasn't affectionate at all anymore.

Then, last night I drove up to his place because they had this street dance in his town, and he wanted me to go. Well me and him were sitting in his tent drinking (because you couldn't drink with the adults, or the cops would get ya) and I went to sit on him, well straddle him like I always do. And he wanted to start fooling around. I didn't want to, and I told him that. He got all mad and wouldn't talk to me for the rest of that night. Later when we were actually going to bed, I was cold and shaking really bad, so I asked him if he would cuddle me and help me warm up. He said no because his back hurt and he couldn't lay on his side. I let it go. Two minutes later he turns on his side .A.W.A.Y from me. I was mad at him for that.


It was then that it hit me. I instantly (just like that) found him physically repulsive. Like I didn't know what I had ever seen in him in the first place. I didn't want to touch him, or even be near him. I felt nothing for him at all. And this was the guy that I thought I wanted to marry and have his children with. Next morning, he isn't talking to me again so I had enough. I told him I was going home, and left without even saying good bye to him.


Tonight I talked to him on msn, and I brought it up that I didn't want to continue things with him, because of how he acts and how I felt. And he goes on to tell me that he doesn't want to waste his time on me anymore and all this other crap (trying to put all the blame on just me...Bah). So basically things have ended badly, and I dumped him over the computer, this is something that I swore I would never do, especially to a guy that I once loved so much.

So now I sit here, and think about my new single status and I really want to cry. Is that stupid of me? Being the one who dumped the guy, but wanting to bawl my eyes out because of it, even though I know there was no other way. I know that he's probably relieved that he's not attached anymore, let alone be crying about it... Rolling Eyes

sorry this is so long, but I needed to get this out and tell someone, even if its to a bunch of people that I don't even know. Confused

P.S- things will only get worse from here, because my whole family (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles) really (i mean) .R.E.A.L.L.Y like him. And im not looking forward to telling them that we broke up. I feel like they think i'll end up with some druggie, or welfare bum because i've brought some real losers home before, but he was the first decent one. Have I made a huge mistake?

Don't beat yourself up. It really sucks, but it is best for you. He obviously was not interested in anything serious, and the longer you kept it up the more it would hurt in the end.
Sometimes, you being the one to break it off hurts the worst. But, you know deep down it is what is needed, and that is why you do it. That doesn't mean it isn't going to hurt! If our hearts and heads worked together things would be so much simpler.
I am so sorry about this. I know how ya feel. I have gave up on men for the time being, and for the first time in my whole life it doesn't bother me one little bit. I finally realized that I have to figure out who I am and what I want and be happy with myself before I can be happy with anyone else. I always knew that, but kept looking for someone to make me happy. For me, it isn't going to work that way. I at least have to be content with myself first.
Anyway, enough about me....Sorry.....The pain will go away eventually. Easier said then done, but try to focus on the bad! The way he treated you and took you for granted and the things he said in the end. Hating him will make it easier to get over him. At least it has always worked for me. It is still hard, but focus on the bad!
Sorry if this doesn't make any sense. I am so tired, but I cannot sleep.

Thanks. That is one reason that im glad we're not together anymore. I was intentionally putting my life on hold, just for him. Within the last few days ive realized that I need to figure out what it is I want to do, and how im going to do it. And it really wasn't possible before when I didn't want to do anything because of him. Im happy for this new found freedom that I now have, and that I can go do what I want. But im also sad because i've lost someone I felt so strongly for, for so long.

In the end this was the best decision because im putting myself first, and making myself happy before anyone else. And thats something that im not used to doing, so I think it was time.

Thanks hotasfrick (sorry, I don't think I know your name?) for putting some things into perspective for me, however hard its going to be for awhile, I know i'll get through it. Wink

Angie, that is my name.
Anyway, I know it is hard, but I will pray for you. When I made my fiancee leave it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Even though I was the one who ended it, it had to be done, but it still hurt like hell. It takes time to mend. I mean, I left him about five years ago and I am just now realizing that I need to put me first before anything else.

Aaawww hun, I hope you dont continue to feel bad! I am so sorry that things happened this way. I hope you meet someone who treats you better than you ever imagined possible. About your family, tell them he did not want to be with you anymore he acted as if you two were just friends trying to go their seperate ways. I hope you feel better soon hun.

Lots of love,
heather and hayley
