Back in the year of 2012, I fell for this guy at school. When we first met, we hated each other. It got to the point where anytime we bumped into each other, we insulted one another. Within a few months of insulting and dirty looks, we started talking and became friends.
It was now 2013, and I had a boyfriend and he had a girlfriend. We still talked to each other as friends, but I could feel that I was falling for him. Yes I felt bad, and I knew it was wrong, because I was in a relationship and so was he. There was just something about him that just drove me crazy. The more I spoke to him, the more I wanted him.
Within a few weeks he and his girlfriend split up and so did me and my boyfriend. He told me that he had liked me for quite sometime, and I told him I had felt the same way. By the next day, he had asked me to be his girlfriend and I was proud to say yes. We kissed the day after he asked me out. My life just felt so complete; I now knew that I was in love with this guy.
As the months went by, we were so happy together and our relationship was great. I was happy, he was happy and that’s all that mattered. But within 3 – 4 months, things started to change.
I had started to notice that he didn’t seem interested in me anymore. It hurt a lot and made me feel so neglected. I had asked him if he loved me and he said he did. But then I had seen him talking to his friends and flirting with his ex. It made me think that he wanted her again, and not me. For an entire month of our relationship, I spent every single day crying and feeling like I wasn’t enough for him. Then one day, he told me that he was sorry for acting like he wasn’t interested in me, and that he was going through a lot. He said the most sweetest things and I just melted. After that we were fine; Well, at least I thought we were.
It was my birthday and he spoilt me. He got me everything I wanted and took me out for a romantic meal and to the movies. He made me feel like a princess. Then a month later it was Christmas and we were so happy. We brought each other some awesome gifts and it was so romantic. I had never been happier.
In the new year he had gone back to neglecting me and this time it got even worse. Out of nowhere he started telling me that he didn’t love me anymore and doesn’t want to be with me. It broke my heart. I never stopped crying when he properly broke up with me in February. For months on end, I cried and barely socialised with anyone.
One day I was at home when I received a phone call from a friend. When I finally picked up, I had a nasty surprise. I found out that the guy I was so in love with had a new girlfriend and had cheated on me with her. That had ruined me.
To think that I loved him more than anything did that behind my back, was absolutely shocking. Since then I have never been able to trust anther guy since.
