About 3 months ago. I'm a bit of a late bloomer when it comes to relationships...
We met online, talked for 4 months, he dropped the "L" bomb just a few weeks in, me--the dummy fell for it and for him, he flew out to meet me, I found out he was a complete fake. It took me 2 days to get over him, but it was a HORRIBLE 2 days...
I was 16 in high school. There was a girl I knew who really liked my friend since she was in elem school, and she used me to try to get him jealous. I thought she was into me and after a day of supposedly "being an item" she broke it off with me and got together with my friend. Classic case of being used to make another guy jealous and it worked.
Unfortunately for my friend we got in a fist fight and I gave him a black eye. We stopped being friends after that, but no worries as he eventually discovered marijuana at a young age and threw his life away. Didn't go to college or do anything with his life. Still lives with his parents working at a restaurant. Saddest part is he was smarter than me and had every opportunity.
I wonder how that happened, but then I remind myself of Karma.
I was 21/22 years old. HS crush. Great guy to me but nothing going on. I was finishing college and we got together. He like me and I knew I had a crush on him for a loooonnnnggg time. He was so cool. He had a serious conversation with me and talked about how we shoudl be together. I told him no because he wasn't doing anything for himself and I had just graduated college and started my first full time job. He was staying at home with his parents doing basically nothing.
I was okay for months and then somehow I was sitting in traffic and happened to see a red car. I peeped over and there he was kissing this girl at a stop light in traffic in his car.
For two months I cried on my way to work, cried on my lunch hour, and cried on my way home. I lost 15-20 pounds as well as I couldn't even eat. We spoke on the phone once or twice and since I rejected him he spared no feelings talking about his girlfriend and how he thought she was pregnant etc. I was so hurt but I got over it.
I've never had a real heartbreak (not a romantic one, at least).
Knock on wood.
I did have a massive crush on a guy when I was 21, but knew upfront it couldn't really go anywhere. Got drunk, basically mauled him, felt preeeettty stupid afterwards. Anyway, he was not as into me as I was him, which was disappointing. Never spoke again after that, uh, incident. But I brushed it off and moved on with life.
Now, if my current S.O. rejected me.....oh man, that would sting. I don't even like thinking about it.
Sixteen years old. My high school sweetheart and BFF started acting funky towards me for no apparent reason. Turns out, instead of him telling me he didn't want to be bothered anymore, he punked out and silently dumps me and starts dating her....I found out about it when I saw them kickin' it all the time in the hallways.
Same thing happened to me Sophmore year. Except it was because I wouldn't put out, and he ran in to his ex-gf at a party and decided that night to start "dating" her again right before he slept with her. Nice huh? I wonder how many wives he's had up til now.
I was 18 yrs old. I didn't sleep well, lost weight. It was pretty rough. I think on some level I shut down a bit. Maybe just being aware of that "shut down" feeling would help to "un-shutdown."
