"He Changed, and I Felt Hurt and Lied To"

Share Your Story: My First Love

From Jo

Who Was It With?

My current boyfriend

When Did You Realize It was Love?

When I felt cared for, special and secured

What Did It Feel Like?

Every aspect of life was easy and even joyful. He brought out the best in me

What Happened Next?

He changed and I felt hurt and lied to. I didn't feel special after learning that he treats some of his female friends better than me. I'd rather they lie to me or hurt me than lose them. One married friend even stripped for him so I'm not so sure of their "friendship." Other times just seems like he was jealous of this other friend's relationship with a guy she was seeing. My boyfriend started putting doubts in their relationships and fought with her to the point where her bf left her. They were in love and a new couple.

Lessons Learned

  • Never fall for anyone right away, no matter how in love you might think you are. Keep an eye out and don't fall for anyone until you are certain - nothing less than 2-3 months of officially dating.
