How Long Had You Been Dating Before the Breakup?
Just over a month
Who Broke Up with Whom?
I broke up with him; Greg.
How Did the Breakup Go Down?
We had been going out for a month, and it was nice but he kept telling me he loved me, called me all the time 'just to listen to my voice' and constantly held me and stuff. I felt smothered. So I called him and was like, I need some space. So he was like okay, and it was alright but then I realised I didn't love him and I felt super bad. So I called him and he started to tell me how much he loved me and I sort of froze up, and he's like, what's wrong? And I told him I didn't love him. He got heaps depressed, saying he had stopped smothering me and stuff, but I didn't love him or even like him as much as I had thought.
How Did You Get Over the Breakup?
I felt terrible and still do, but he pretty much avoided me the whole time after and it helped me, not seeing how hurt he was, as he had been depressed before we had been together and now he was back to that. It broke my heart but my friends helped me through it and I am forever grateful.
Lessons Learned
- NEVER, under any circumstances, say 'I love you' if you don't mean it. EVER
- I would have told him to his face
- I would have thought more about 'us' before saying yes to us going out
- as soon as you realise you don't feel the same, DON'T LEAD THEM ON. Don't become more in love with the attention than the person.
