Just a Phase? Posted: 10-20-05 20:12pm
First of all, I am fifteen years old.
When I was twelve, most of the people I
knew left the school we were attending,
while me and the few people that were
there from previous years basically
freaked out. This is when I met kaitlyn
and started this co-dependent relationship
thats been going on for sometime now.
After about six months of dating, my
brother had exams so he couldn't come to
hawaii with me and my parents. We
couldn't refund our tickets, so we decided
to take her. That is by far the realest
and most intoxicating experience i've ever
gone through. We dated for at least a
year afterwards. We were still going to
the same school, and we still spent all of
our time with each other. The drama had
really started to pile on, we started to
fight. Quite frankly it got boring, it
felt like we were married and we were only
13. We went out eventually I guess
because there was no one else, and while
we were dating she met this guy. I'll
talk about him in a second. After that
last year in middle school, we went to
different schools. We still talked to
each other everyday, and were still
extremely close. She had started going
out with that guy I mentioned. She'd gone
through a couple boyfriends after we had
split up "for good", but this guy was
different. She told me she was in love
with him. Naturally, that had a huge
impact on me. I was lost and had no clue
what to do. Once again I was going to a
school where I barely knew anybody, and
she really was my only real friend. I
would've been ok if she didn't start
treating me completely different, as if we
were going out and just broke up. There
was one friend we had from middle school
whose house we would go over to. Kaitlyn
and I got stoned and made out. She felt
guilty, told the guy, and he broke up with
her. I blamed myself for breaking them up
and making her so depressed. As time went
by, although we remained best friends, she
became more and more obsessed over him.
Although it killed me, we would talk about
him. A year went by where it constantly
stayed like this, and we constantly
fought. We were friends with benefits,
which confused things even more. I want
to say it was like we were married and she
was always talking to me about wanting to
have an affair. We told each other "i
love you," before we went to sleep every
night. I came to her school mainly to be
with her, but for a socially better
position overall. And I got sucked into
her click, I hung out with all of her
friends, we all hung out together. The
fights got worse, and she was mainly
getting fed up with me. I saw how
depressed and lonely she was, and although
I always knew it was because of him and
there was nothing I could do about it, I
wanted to take her out of the hole she was
in, and the whole she continues to be in
now. Time passed, I started to think
maybe we really could work it out, I could
get her mind off of him. I helped her
through everything, all of her problems.
I started to get aggrivated and it
eventually became only me that was
starting the fights. I couldn't take her
out of that hole...No matter what I did.
We started to have more and more fun with
each other and I thought maybe we could
start a real relationship back up again.
There were no longer real fights...It
became constructive criticism. But she
still didn't want to be with me, she
wanted to be with that guy. This is when
I started to realize how bad of a guy this
is and how its a very good thing that I
split them up. He does all kinds of
drugs, he treats women like crap, and she
still wanted to be with him. She knew he
didn't care about her but she was still
obsessed, in fact that might be while she
still is obsessed with him. Even though I
knew she was obsessed with him and was
getting fed up with me telling her how I
felt about all of this, I still tried to
hang on. I knew we needed a break at the
least, but when I tried to just break off
from her altogether she started getting
pissed at me. Of course over all this
time I was dating other girls, and they
treated me like crap. I got cheated on,
nobody my age was mature enough for me.
So, she started getting pissed at me and I
kept talking to her everyday. Things had
changed, she never tried to really talk to
me. It was just normal conversation...But
sometimes she had to come to me, because
all of her friends were abandoning her due
to her constant depression.This guy
remained one of her fairly close friends,
even though he often ignored her at
school. Maybe a week after this I figured
out she lost her virginity to him about a
month ago. After this had happened, and
before I figured out what had happened,
she was still telling me she loved me
every night. We would talk about our
situation every now and then, she told me
we had true love. But, she decided to
stop being friends with benefits with me
because she claimed I couldn't handle it
and she was getting her feelings confused.
And in turn, she became friends with
benefits with him. The guy was on extasy
when they had sex, I don't know why she
did it. It blew my mind...It's literally
put me on the verge on insanity. I always
knew I was going to lose my virginity to
her, there was never a doubt in my mind.
And we had talked about it while back, and
she said if she did have sex with another
guy it would be very unfair to me. She
knew this would rip me apart, but she says
she never thought twice about it. She
says she doesn't regret it, even though
its only made her more obsessed with a guy
that doesn't care about her. I explained
all this to her, wrote her a very long
explanation of our relationship, why we
fought, and why it was very unfair to me
and herself to lose her virginity to him.
She agreed with everything, she said she
understood, but she still doesn't regret
it. Why? I have no clue. I really have
been ripped apart over this, and i'm glad
this is online and nobody knows who I am
so I can fully explain whats going on with
me. I'm having really bad nightmares.
Theres a nightmare where i'm in the middle
of this big house as its burning to the
ground. Its filled with people I know,
all burning to death. Theres another
dream where she's in the back of his car
with all of our friends, i'm lying on the
ground and they're all laughing at me as
they drive off. I'm breaking down...I
didn't go to school the day after she told
me. I layed in my bed, listen to bob
marley, and cried all day. Alll day. And
that was when I realized I have to stop
talking to her altogether, i'm not gonna
let her do this to me. I've felt like we
were one person for so long. She's made
me pick apart every little problem with
myself and even though i've done my best
to fix it, she doesn't want me. Even if
she doesn't want me at all, why would she
do this to me? She says she loves me more
than she loves herself, but she doesn't
regret it at all. She wouldn't let me
break off completely from her even though
she's always said it would be a good idea.
Can anybody explain to me whats going on
in her head? Is it a stupid teenage
mindset, a sense for adventure, finding
new and exciting things and leaving the
past behind? It doesn't make
sense...We've always known we were going
to get back together some day, we'd give
little hints to each other that things
could and will change. So why would she
completely destroy this, I can't even look
her in the eye anymore. I don't think i'm
ever going to be able to talk to her
again, even though I want to so bad. I
want to talk to her and help her through
this crappy time shes going through...I've
always tried to help her, and in turn I
think I never helped myself. I think
she's forcing me to hate her but I don't
know why. I haven't smothered her...We've
always been there for each other. She
said she knew it would break me if I ever
found out...But she doesn't regret it at
all. Heh ok sorry for the long post, I
don't even think half of you bothered to
read to this point.

I read your whole post. And the bottom
line is your young and yes it is just a
phase. Enjoy your life while your young
don't worry about her anymore. I used to
think like that about woman when we'd
break up. Don't let her or anyone else
play with your heart. Just let it go....

yeah, I am. I appricate the reply. I
talked to her about it last night and she
said it was a physical thing and not an
emotional thing so that's helped me get my
mind off of it. The only thing is we
still see each other everyday, I got a
couple classes with her. I should
definately embrace change. Its
just..Weird. When we're with each other
in public its like we barely even know
each other, then we go home and talk for
hours. It's so complicated, and I know
it's just a phase, but I also know we
really do love each other. Back when we
went out, we would literally talk from the
time we got home from school till the time
we went to bed. We can still talk for
hours on end about anything. I'm going
to forget about her for right now, though,
it's just frustrating knowing if we
would've met ten years from now or
something things would be totally
different. Thanks again.

Hey, Food For Thought Posted: 11-10-05 20:37pm
I use to be a young gal once. Girls can
be that way they can like you when your
not together and hate you when your are- I
guess its wanting something you cant have
kind of thing. And she likes the big jerk
b/c he does treat her like crap.....Shes
craving his attention b/c he doesnt give
it to her and she thinks she can change
him.....More than likely shell get preg by
this guy. I think you should just move
on, I know it easy to say but im bein real
though. Beleive me once she has lived
life and sees what it really is, she'll be
lookin for you. But hopefully youll be in
a happy relationship by then or just happy
on your own
good luck guy!!!!
