I broke up with my girlfriend two weeks ago. I had just gotten back from Michigan where she worked and she pretty much ignored me the whole time. I didn’t know what to do. After I had left we were talking and I felt like something was wrong. So I asked her. And she told me it was nothing. That she didn’t want to talk about it....
So then she tells me she’s not ready for a relationship. That she’s been faking it the whole time. It’s all been a game.
Pretty much just crushed me. I had given her my everything and she hadn’t even been serious. She faked me out.
And now I’m talking with someone that I met in Michigan. We started out as good friends but now it’s developing into something more than that. She’s coming in August to visit and look at colleges and when she’s down we’re going to go out.
But when I broke up with my ex... it destroyed me. I felt so attached to her and then she flat out told me no. She had led me on.
For all of you younger guys out there...
Don’t date someone who doesn’t actually want to date. You’re gonna end up with a lot of heartache. 👌🏼
Edit: Thank you all for the support and advice that you’ve given me. I really appreciate it. You guys are like me second family. I count y’all as my brothers and sisters!

Stay strong dude. Sometimes life sucker punches you right in the testicles.

-blam!- you reminded me of something I didn’t want to be reminded of

Tough break bro. Sounds like it’s working out for the better though. Let me use an ancient proverb from Adventure Time: “You see this cup? This is literally my favorite cup.” [i]The cup is dropped in an endless sea of pillows and cushions[/i] “Now it’s gone forever. So it’s not real and I don’t care about it anymore.” Good luck dude 👊

Look at it this way, more money for vbucks now.

She played you like a fool and you have every right to be angry. Don’t take that kind of abuse laying down. Yeah you’re hurt, but you know what? -blam!- her and her inability to conduct herself like an adult. You deserve better. Don’t be afraid to meet new people. You deserve to be happy, and if she isn’t up to the task then someone else is. You’re a badass, don’t let someone else tear you down. *Respek knuckles* Go get yourself some!

I know how you’re feeling, I just found out my former fiancé lied to me about her feelings for me and she was shit talking me to her family and friends behind my back and she cheated on me with one of my friends, I thought being engaged meant something but I guess not, worst thing for me is we had to delay getting married a couple times because of family issues on both sides and then I learned all of that, I’m honestly crushed

I’ve been in a pretty similar relationship. It sucks for a month or two

Not every relationship will be the same. My parents were high school sweethearts so that’s what I looked for while I was in high school. I ended up dating six different girls (one of them twice), all of which ended in them telling me I was into it more than they were. I didn’t meet my wife until the day I graduated high school and didn’t end up starting to date her until almost a year and a half later. It was a very long distance relationship and everyone said that it wouldn’t work out especially through college but here I am with a bachelors degree, 5.5 years of marriage and 3 kids to prove them wrong. Basically telling you this because I know the feeling of not wanting to end up alone, especially after hearing that things weren’t the way it seemed. Don’t give up but don’t rush into anything either. “You’ve got to climb the hill to be able to enjoy the view”.

Shit happens but you shouldn’t expect someone else to feel the same way that you do. Communication is key.

I dated a girl for 4 months and the whole time she had been hiding her other boyfriend from me... when I found out she moved back to Cali (she used to live in Texas which is the state I’m in) and because of her I cannot look at girls the same way anymore. I’m afraid of them to the point where I focus more on guys.

Edited by ryanrob105: 7/19/2018 12:19:22 AMDamn that's a sad situation but I'm in a worse situation because I'm,23 have High-Functioning Autism and have not had any girlfriends yet because it's hard to start a relationship when you have autism because autistic people often struggle socially and it makes me upset to the point of crying sometimes because I'm lonely and would like a girlfriend and I don't want to be alone my whole life.
-
So that’s what it’s like on the other side of the fence...
-
im really sorry to hear about that. just dont feel rushed to get into another relationship, and dont let the past ones get you down
-
It'll get better, man. Time heals all wounds. [spoiler]Corny, I Know. But true.[/spoiler]

She thinks the grass is greener.
-
Wait you broke up first... then she told you all of this. Or did she say this when you guys broke up?
-
I planned to read this, but then I saw how long it was and my laziness was like “f*ck no b*tch pick your switch back up” so...sorry. Hope it all works out well, whatever is wrong

Thats the Michigan experience.

That's rough. If you need to talk, you know I'm here for you. I appreciated your help on my other post. All I can say is to stay busy by talkin to other girls, meeting new people, and working out. The breakup I was going through degenerated from "we can still be friends, just need some space and a bit of time" to "let's just nail back our stuff to each other, even though it's less than a ten minute drive to drop it off/pick it up" lol. It's still kinda new, but I don't even get that emotional twinge anymore when I think about her. If you want to chat about more specific things that help get your head and heart straightened out, hit me up. I did not think, at the time if the breakup, that I would be this okay with it this quickly. Maybe something I went through will work for you. But then again, a re all different and so are ourexperiences, so even if you just want to vent, I'll be a good listener.

That's why I'm happy that I'm different... 😂

That’s life. Soon you’ll meet someone else and you’ll wonder what ever saw in the her. Especially if you’re young. Everyone has those “young love” relationships that don’t work out. You think it’s the end of the world when it happens but pretty soon you move on and forget all about it.

Romance is like childbirth... a lot of pain and inconvenience. And once it's over, people forget how much it hurts.

Had that happen to me once. [i]She initiated the whole thing too![/i] That's what pisses me off the most to be honest. She did the legwork to look me up and come find my hermit, ass end of nowhere living self based off of interactions we had prior. A year later I find out I'm some sort of rebound or in-between. That was 2010. And I'm still pissed about it. Trust issues? You ain't got shit on me...

In like three weeks, you’ll laugh at this post. She just set you free.

Dating is never serious until you get to college. High school relationships don't last and never end on good terms.
