So...That's It

DAMMIT! I'm feeling like total shit now. Me and my boyfriend just broke up. We're "taking a break" as he said, but I know it's worse than that. He clearly spelled out that I'm not really his type and that we're better off friends. I told him all the stuff he did that hurt me over the past few months, and then agreed that we should break it off and be buddies (that seems to be working so far). The bad thing is that I had to drive home from his place at the university. That's 20 min away through the city. I was all depressed (and still am) and this stupid STUPID black cavalier tried to race me. I didn't even have time for his shenanigans so I just blew him away and went a lot faster than I normally do (I don't street race to high speeds, EVER, but I did this time). I topped out 3rd gear, and then I realized I could die because I'm driving like an emotional idiot. I feel stupid for having fallen for his pretending to want me. Fuck it, and in the last week of school too!

I should stop trying to cheer myself up and go to bed. Things can only get better in the morning I guess.

Thanks...

Too bad it's JUST at that time when all my projects and assignments are due on friday. Could he have worse timing? It's probably gonna be on my mind all week. Almost as bad as when my first boyfriend broke up with me on my damn birthday. What a dick.

You are young man. You knew he wouldnt be the last, especially considering the one foot in the closet thing. Now you're just on to the rest of your life sooner than you thought. But what better time for it than the approaching summer.

It sucks and its hard im sure but it sounds like a healthy end to a decent relationship. No drama or emmotional scarring. You'll be back at it soon enough.

Thanks so much. You guys here at AZ are great! I'm going to bed now, hopefully I'll feel a little more up and at 'em in the morning.

The first few weeks/months will be tough as memories of the good times will make you miss him. I remember you mentioned before that you have noticed some changes in his behavior. Perhaps later in the future, you will look at this more objectively and realize it's all for the best. I'm sure you love him and it's not easy to let go, but that's what you have to do. Just focus on your studies for now.

Time heals.

Best advice ever
Thanks. Yeah I'm thinking about him a lot lately, but even after a day the pain is starting to decrease.

It was even funnier because he didn't know.

Things will work out for you, just give it time - as others have mentioned.

Glad you're feeling better, today. Sorry to hear about your breakup. You'll survive, I promise. I can only imagine how hard it must be to find a stable same-sex partner, considering the lack of available candidates in our gene pool.

Then again, with fewer people to choose among, it is probably easier in the long run to weed out the losers.

Some of the best advice I've ever heard in regards to a breakup of a LTR, is to focus on the things that make you happy that don't involve him. Spend the next few months, not only focusing on your studies, as someone else said, but also developing your own interests and hobbies, without the input of a significant other. In the long run, this will not only place you in situations where you are apt to meet someone with similar interests, but it will also teach you about yourself and the kinds of people you want to meet. Also, don't measure your self-worth by his gauge... you aren't worth more or less depending on who wants you. As a person, you're only worth what you think you are, so don't let sadness or rejection make you feel like less of a human. It's his loss, any way you slice it, because YOU know how special you are.

I took your advice, I made it through the last days of class and actually finished ALL my homework and did a good job on it and my project for geophysics 326. I think I'm going to wait a couple weeks at LEAST before I date anyone else.

I've heard rebounds are bad things (right Alex?).

Thanks everyone, so much. I really feel like I have somewhere to go with you guys when I need it. Same goes for a lot of you, there are a lot of people here who are just awesome.

Glad to hear this!

Yes, rebounds are baaaddddddd! Will just give you more trouble and headache. You need to be really sure you are over your ex and resolve lingering issues before dating again.
