"He Broke it Off Because He was Going to College"

Share Your Story: My First Breakup

From Shannon

How Long Had You Been Dating Before the Breakup?

We were talking for roughly 8 months but never dated.

Who Broke Up with Whom?

He did it

How Did the Breakup Go Down?

He is a very lovable kid. Funny, cute, smart, life of the party! We talked for about a month and I liked him a lot but he broke it off in Jan bc he was going to college soon. So I was sad for like a week and was slowly eating better, but about 2 weeks later he texted me and we got back into things. He said he just wanted o have fun and I was like yeah sure. Even though I wasn't okay with it I just wanted to be with him. So we talked for like 4 months and we were each other's firsts. He ended it with me during last period Spanish class. I was a wreck for a month. We started talking again hung out a few times before he left.

How Did You Get Over the Breakup?

Now he's dating somebody else long distance after he told me long distance wouldn't work. I cry a lot still even though I'm in a new relationship. I try to not think about the stuff but sometimes I can't help it and I just lay there sad forever.

Lessons Learned

  • None because he was at a party a week ago and I cheated on my bf with him.
