As far as romantic relationships are involved, there is no guarantee that you will not get hurt and that people you date will not get hurt. That is just the risk we take when we put our hearts out there and a part of life.
I have been in quite a few romantic relationships. I was heartbroken quite a few times. Each one of those times I thought my life was over. I was devastated and an emotional wreak. I never thought I would get over that person. I couldn't imagine my life without him.
It turned out, I did get over him....and another him....and another.....
The thing is (and I hope you learn this at a much earlier age than I did...), the deep love you think you feel for a person can be so overwhelming sometimes to the point where your brain loses its ability to make smart decisions. I stayed in relationships which were so very wrong for me because my heart was lying to me and my brain was believing the lies.
Try to use your head and not so much your heart when it comes to any romantic relationship you get into. If something doesn't feel "right" about who you are with, also trust your instincts.
Good luck to you....be happy.
