Share Your Story: My First Breakup

How Long Had You Been Dating Before the Breakup?

About six months. I bought him a present two days before... :(

Who Broke Up with Whom?

He broke up with me..twice. But he begged me for so long to stay friends...

How Did the Breakup Go Down?

We'd been dating for six months, 50 miles apart. It was hard sometimes, but we talked every day for hours. One day he got me to do something I didn't want to do, through a cell phone. Then he stopped texting. I found out he was at this teen hangout. The next day he said I need to talk to you later. I knew as soon as he said that that It was Over.

It's been five months and he's dated at least six girls. Countless times he's "tried" to be my friend, but it was always ME calling and I sent him a birthday present... He's completely changed and he's been sexting random girls from here...But I still miss the old him. :(

How Did You Get Over the Breakup?

There was a point in time when I found an old boyfriend who broke up with me two years before because he was moving. He was back in town and we started hanging out and that was first time in months that I honestly hadn't thought of him. It felt so good to be appreciated for little things that I did. I screwed up when another guy kissed me when I was out of town and I didn't stop him. As soon as I got home I told him and we took a break. I thought for a few weeks, that I honestly forgot about my ex. But I didn't. I still miss the old him. The one who was really sweet and who would call me every night at seven on the dot, someone who would give up seeing his friends for me, and I did the same for him. But he went to a teen "hangout" and I talked to a couple girls he screwed over and one said that as soon as they met they started dating.

The night before he broke up with me.. :'( I still love him with all my heart and I haven't talked to him in over a month and I don't check his facebook or really talk to his friends. When I seldom do, they'll just make a comment that he still wears my stuff I lent him (that he never gave back) and that all he talks about is how miserable he is. I wish I could fix that hole in his heart, but it's still no excuse to call me names and be cruel to me when I've given nothing but kindness. He said that my birthday present I sent him was the only one he got, and STILL he's cruel to me and takes me for granted. I've completely separated myself from anything to do with him and just when I thought he was gone for good, girls in my school tell me that he's always begging for pictures and stuff when I KNOW he has a girlfriend right now. He hit on my best friend and it all just makes me wonder what he did behind my back when we were together. :( A lot of this friends talk about how he was really happy when we were together and stuff, I just don't know how to make him see that I'm good for him.

We've both tried dating other people and he STILL can't see that I've been standing here all along. My friends tell me that all I do is build his ego when I tell him that I still care, but I only did that when I sent him a huge letter about six weeks ago. He never even called me or contacted me in any way, not even to say "No, thanks". D:
