Bad experences with love

Well, look at that, things work out in the end. Good for you Holy! Let's see. My first (and last) girlfriend decided to break up with me over Facebook during Finals, right after Prom(And guess who footed that entire bill, being a gentleman and all? <--- That's right), and during a very, very, very bad time for our family, then proceeded to trash me on Facebook. I later found out this was so she could attempt to go out with another guy, which backfired pretty badly for her. Needless to say, I was not exactly the most friendly person towards her after that, and I became quite cynical towards "Love". However, time helped, and, looking back on that, I'm actually kind of glad that happened(although, I would never want to go through it again), as I felt I personally gained a lot of strength and maturity from that experience. My ex and I are now on friendly, speaking terms, although I'd never date her again since I'm not the type of person who usually does the "off again, on again" type of relationship.

@HolyGoddess: I'm not going to mean to sound critical of you but WOW from April to Sept and you are already married!? Did you think that through before you jumped into that big of a decision. I mean good for you, but really, are you sure?

I got out of a bad relationship. He was cute funny and shy but he have a bad past that if I did something he thought was wrong he would start talking about one of his ex like I was her. So for the second time in a real relationship my bf made me cry. I couldn't do again so I told him it was over but he didn't want to break up so he keep calling me and text me all day till I told him to stop it because he was scaring. Before that my ex told me that some girl he had sex with when we was dating was having a child by him. So I think I'm done with love for now

My girlfriend broke up with me just before Winter Formal at our school almost a year ago. She came up to me and said "You should find someone who actually wants to go with you to the dance." It hurt so much. I haven't had a girlfriend since even though I really want one again, but I think deep down I don't wanna be hurt again. I don't know, I'm just a confusing person. That's probably why she broke up with me.

I dated a beautiful girl from October of my 8th grade to shortly after Homecoming (late October,/early November) of my 10th grade. After 8th grade, she left my hometown for KC, Missouri, but we did the whole long distance thing. I thought things were going great, and then after she had come down for my Homecoming (I had gone to hers as well), she called me and told me she didn't want to be BF/GF anymore. I was devastated. I then pined away like a little idiot until 2009. We had this thing where it seemed like we were on the verge of getting back together for years, and I was always hopeful. But then I took a trip up to KC, and she spent an entire weekend talking AT me, belittling me for some of my choices in life (like how I vote, why I haven't attended college, why I don't work three jobs, etc.). I knew it was bad when I found myself enjoying her families company more than I did hers. Then, on the last day there, she just pushed my last button. I had to wait for her college courses to finish to catch the train home, so I was bumming in the student lounge listening to my music and reading some Sherlock Holmes when out of f***ing nowhere coins started hitting me. It was her "getting my attention."

I continued to talk with her, but no where near as much anymore, then at Naka Kon 2010, I said hi to her maybe twice, I honestly can't remember. She just kept walking away. So I've effectively cut ties with her. Haven't said a word to her since around May/June of 2010. Thing is, I'm wanting to go back to Naka Kon, but I don't even want to see her and I know she'll attend and get pissed off and blow up at me if I show up. Thing is, I'm just as liable to blow up at her if she does. I'm not an angry guy. My buddies can attest to the fact that I'm perhaps the most laid back guy on the planet. There are only two people on the planet that I will literally begin frothing in rage over and that is my dumba** little brother and her.
