I dated this guy for three years, then he left for someone else and slept with her the day after we broke up. She’s so different from me, she’s more artsy and wants to be a tattoo artist, whereas I’ve been in school working on two science degrees, planning on med school. Apparently I wasn’t exciting enough, which was so hurtful to hear.
It’s been nine months since this happened, and I’m just frustrated. I feel so angry and hurt by this still. Online accounts like Myspace and Facebook don’t help this either, friends keep telling me about new pictures they take and what they’re doing, even when I don’t want them to tell me. He meant the world to me, and I was devastated when I found out what he did.
Earlier this summer I was diagnosed with MODY, a rare kind of diabetes. Ever since I came home for the summer I’ve been so stressed out about them. (They never left town, and got together when I was away at school). It’s starting to make me depressed and very irritable, and the stress is driving my glucose readings up.
I just want to let this go, but I feel like I can’t. I feel like I’m the one who has been punished for months and months, and he just gets to be so happy. So any inspirational words of wisdom or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey, it happens to everyone. All you have to remember is that he is a jerk and he doesnt deserve you. You are going to be super sucessfull someday with your Med degree and he is going to have a girlfriend who is a tattoo artist waiting for people to come into her shop to get ink in their skin… it doesnt happen often. Believe me, Im a part-time tattoo apprentice.
All you have to do is meet someone that will respect you, some one who lives up to your standards. Someone who appreciates you for who you are and what you believe in. Don’t worry girl, you’ll get there.
