NYE: GET THE F*** OVER IT. (Venting/HELP ME!!!)

My New Year's Resolution is to get over my ex.

I know that sounds strange coming from a freshman in high school, but damn! I have been through so much crap with this one guy in a short period of time.

----------

Timeline:

July 18: We met online on the night of my birthday through a mutual acquaintance. We basically only met because he and my acquaintance were against my new friend. This is somewhat relevant later because my ex, my friend at the time, my acquaintance, and I all go to the same school. (My acquaintance no longer goes to our school now.)

Some time in late July/early August: My ex and I start IMing regularly. He added me as a friend on Facebook. We start talking a little bit on the phone. I begin to like his personality, interests, and even appearance a LOT in about a week or so. "He's HOT, inside AND out," I think to myself. "I don't even care that I HAVEN'T MET HIM IN PERSON." Eventually I admit to him that I like him, despite having a boyfriend that I was trying again with for the second time. He says he likes me back, but he wants things to be okay with me and my boyfriend at the time.

August 5: My ex convinced me to break up with my boyfriend. From that moment on, we were not quite "together" yet, but he called me "baby" and "cutie" and even "sexy". I was looking forward to August 11, when school would start and I would meet my new crush (at the time).

August 11: I met my ex. When I got to school, we walked off campus into a nearby shopping center. He hugged me and gave me a peck on the lips. Then we went back to school. By lunch time, we had announced that we were officially "together".

From August 12 to September 11: Things happened very fast in our relationship. After a mere two weeks or so, we were sneaking off behind the movie theater next to our school to make out and do other things. It was mainly just him kissing me and touching me all over, in nearly every way possible. I didn't know how to respond, but naturally, I enjoyed it. It still felt like there was something missing, or that something wasn't right. Eventually I told him we were going to fast, and we agreed to slow down. We slowed down for about a week. Then we went on a date, and things were back to "normal". On our one month anniversary, he broke up with me over AIM because "he didn't like me like that anymore".

The next few weeks: I was miserable!!! Then my ex later told me that he liked me even when he broke up with me, but he thought I'd be upset if he said we were going to fast. I was still sad, but eventually things calmed down with a lot of therapy, and my ex and I became friends again. As soon as the drama ended, we got back together because we decided we still liked each other. He charmed and sweet talked me back into a relationship.

The next two weeks after that: Things went way slower. Everything was great! We went on a date again, too. That's also the day he broke up with me for the second time...OVER FREAKIN' AIM! His excuse this time was that there was no more connection or spark in the relationship. Oh, really...I felt plenty of spark, even WITHOUT you squeezing my boobs anymore!

The next day: Remember my "friend"? She was my ex's new GF the VERY NEXT DAY AFTER THE BREAKUP, a Monday, the beginning of a new school week. She told me I couldn't tell anyone they were together, because they were together before I even knew them, and things crashed and burned and ended badly. That was last school year. She said no one would approve. DAMN STRAIGHT!

Wednesday or Thursday that week: I told people about my ex-friend and ex-boyfriend getting back together. They both hated me because they looked bad in front of the whole school while I looked like I did nothing wrong. Muahahaha...wow...I really AM a bitch.

Later on: My ex-friend and ex-boyfriend broke up to end drama. My ex-boyfriend hated me and my ex-friend was just a plain on-and-off friend and enemy; a "frenemy" if you will.

Mid (?) November: I went on a somewhat-blind date with a guy. He told me he set my ex up with some girl and that they made out on the first date. Then they broke up shortly after. Being the loudmouthed retard that I am, I tell EVERYONE. Later I found out from more reliable sources that my ex WAS indeed set up with that girl, but they never even kissed. From that point on, my ex loathed me with the power of a million Aztec suns. He called me a bitch, stupid, and a slut. He also blamed me for his bad reputation (even though he still had his friends, and I barely had ANYONE at school!).

Random moments from the last point on: I continued to make an ass of myself, from talking about my ex and then realizing he's behind me to hysterically crying and screaming about how much I hate/love him. I also ended up cutting myself, which I have done before, but I promised I'd never do it again.
-------------------------------------------------
PHEW!!! And that was the SIMPLIFIED story!

Please, please, please, please, PLEASE help me! Give me advice on getting over my ex and possibly having a friendship with him in the future. I want my New Year's Resolution to come true. I'm so tired of grieving and wishing things were the way they were from the beginning. I don't want to risk harming myself and making myself look worse. I still want my ex SOOO bad. I don't understand why!!! I NEED to get over it!!!

If you respond or even just read this, thank you for your time. I really appreciate it.

XOXO Peace & Love,

Sarah

GirlyDork, do you really think you wanna be friends with this guy ? It looks like you just want him to be around in some way or the other and trust me, that's only because you haven't yet gotten over the relation. Don't worry, it's only natural. The thing to understand here is that what's gone is gone. I think you just enjoy with your friends and family for now. Don't start thinking about a new relationship yet. It would only be a rebound

Wait, bear the pain (no other way, even though it pains alot!). I promise you'll get over him. Ultimately, with a clear mind, I bet you'll see things in the right light

I'm not sure how the US education system works, but am i right in thinking that freshman are 14/15 years old?

If so, my advice to you is to forget the entire incident and move on and enjoy being 14/15. I know everything at this age seems so super important, every guy, every friendship, but really...they're not. I'm 18, and still feel so so young - so for you at 14 to be making new years resolutions about guys and relationships? Hon, it's not worth the time. Concentrate on school, your girls, having fun, growing up..and take your time.

Obviously, you're growing up and guys/crushes/relationships/friendships will play a big role in molding you as a person..but it should be on your terms. Be confident in the person that you are, don't act based on what other people do. If this boy played you for your friend...yeah, that sucks, and THEY'RE in the wrong. Be a better person and move on. Spreading rumours, starting shit makes you seem just as bad as the people who hurt you to begin with.

As for the cutting...If you're hurting, try to talk to someone you feel close to, who you trust. Don't try to suffer in silence sweety. Seriously.
I hope things get better x

You're so young, and I know all this seems huge now, but you'll look back on this in a few years and it'll seem silly, I promise! I think focusing on getting over your ex is the best idea. Don't worry about being friends with him, or even anything that's happened in the past. All you can do is go forward from here, and how you choose to do that is up to you! But don't be miserable (as much as you can help it) over some guy that eventually won't matter at all. It does take time to get over it, but it'll go by faster than you think. Good luck!

I'm 34 and every relationship I've had has been total sh!t! I can tell you for certain that you get over it. My first relationship at 18, I can look back and don't miss a thing. I really couldn't read all your post so I can't go indepth but I can tell you for certain that if a guy is controlling or abusive in ANY way you do not need them. Your heart will heal. It is best to keep yourself occupied, which is why so many end up in one failed relationship after the other. My advice to you, enjoy being young and free, hang out with good friends so you have a childhood to look back on and laugh about.

You have the rest of your life to be tied down to one loser or another, now is the time to find yourself, if you aren't sure who you are you won't find the most compatible partners. I am still trying to find myself at my age. As soon as I do that and make myself a whole then I wil be better equiped to finding someone that suits me. You as a youth have so much time to explore, enjoy it don't let a boy rattle you, I am almost positive he isn't losing sleep over this. Even if he tells you he is.

Keep yourself busy during the especially hard times if you can. Avoid those situations that remind you of him if you can also (I know it's hard), then set aside a little time every day to grieve over him and the relationship loss. It's okay to be sad about it, and to not instantly get over it. You can't control how you feel any more than you can control the weather, but you CAN control how you let those emotions affect your life...as in whether you go to school, stay in contact with friends, etc. And don't forget to remind yourself that you WILL get over it. You are strong enough to overcome it, it just might take more time than you think it ought to (or your friends think it ought to). No one can say how quickly it takes to heal a broken heart. Hang in there.

omg... lol. This reminds me of when i was a freshman in h.s.... I had my first kiss and was "in love" with this boy.. he was SUPER popular, and he wanted to date ME... I was soooo pumped... well we dated for a "super long time" (all of... 3 months. LOL) and when he broke up with me (for the same reason) I was DEVESTATED...

Now I saw this kid @ my work the other day, hes fat, has zits EVERYWHERE, was drunk off about 5 25oz mugs of beer... it was depressing... and I thanked my stars that we didnt stay together and I didnt end up with "that."


what im trying to say is--everything happens for a reason. I dont talk to 99.99% of the people I was friends with in high school. After high school you move on, make new friends, get jobs, make friends at those jobs- and ultimatley the only person you will stay TRUE friends with (besides a select few. I do have a best friend that Ive been friends with literally since we were born and im now her maid of honor-- shes marrying a guy i actually dated my soph. year of high school!!! HAHA) is your husband.

I wish I had way better advice to you, other than just dont worry about this kid.. or this "friend"... my friends and i in high school used to joke that "if these are the best days of our lives, we want a fucking refund."

Nothing gets fun until after high school haha. Just take a deep breath and know that by the end of next semester, you pry wont even care about all of this!
