"She Told Me I was Just Her Rebound"

Share Your Story: My First Breakup

From Jorgie

How Long Had You Been Dating Before the Breakup?

We were going steady 4 about 7 months

Who Broke Up with Whom?

She broke up with me

How Did the Breakup Go Down?

I called her because my best friend told me she said she was waiting 2 see me so she could end it. She told me that she was still in love with her ex and that I was really just her rebound.

How Did You Get Over the Breakup?

I didn't. It's been a month and I still can't get her off my mind. Every day since the breakup I think about her. What's she doing? Who's she with? Does she think about me? Does she care about how I'm feeling? These are questions I want 2 ask but I can't. And 2 make matters worse, 2 weeks after the breakup she got with someone else. After tellin me that if she couldn't be with her ex she didn't want any1. And then she goes 4 her ex's bf. I'm just a mess.

Lessons Learned

  • Ask about past relationships before
  • Don't fall 4 someone who can't return your feelings
