Just Need to Tell Someone... Posted: 06-28-04 02:32am
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...
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.
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.

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

Thanks you guys. I honestly don't
remember what its like to be single. Its
so weird! Anyways, I know it will take
time but I also know that it had to be
done. Im just glad that I can come here
to 'talk' about it.
