Share Your Story: My First Breakup

From Amanda

How Long Had You Been Dating Before the Breakup?

Not even a month

Who Broke Up with Whom?

He broke up with me

How Did the Breakup Go Down?

I called him after school one day, and I asked him if he was gonna come down to the park. He replied, "no it's my birthday, I want to spend time with my family." Then I asked if he was coming down in a few days, and he said no, and then I asked if he was coming to the park at all in the summer, and he said no. I said, oh, okay. And then he said, "I have something to tell you." I waited for a few, then said, "what?" And he said, "I'm breaking up with you." Then he hung up. A few days later, I seen him, and I asked him, "why'd you break up with me?" And he told me well, let's see, three guys...

How Did You Get Over the Breakup?

I didn't. I may have a boyfriend that I love, but I'm still having trouble getting over it. I talked to people. I even asked him why...when I found out I got mad and started walking away... After that I told my boyfriend, my mom, my dad, even my best friend.. and when I found out who told him I was supposedly dating 3 guys, I confronted her, my best friend. She denied it of course...but yea...that's how I kinda got over it....

Lessons Learned

  • My lesson that was learned, was that I needed to talk to him more. Tell him I loved him more, and made sure I didn't upset him.
