- 16 Apr 14, 10:27#399381Liam. I think a lot of us have been there, and know the pain you are feeling.
When I was 18, the girl I had been dating for over a year, the first girl I ever loved, the girl who I really wanted to spend the rest of my life with, went on a summer business course for a week. The day before she left, we spent a romantic day in the grounds of blenheim Palace, we told each other how we loved each other, and how we meant the world to each other. The very next day, 6 hours after meeting a guy on this course, she slept with him. She spent the week sleeping with him. She ripped my heart in two and destroyed me. I was so in love with her though, and the thought of losing her, killed me so much, I begged her to forget him and come back to me. I managed to convince her. She came back to me. We struggled on together for almost a year. But it was a wasted year, and the relationship was never the same.
Even after we finally broke up, it took me almost another year to get over her. As with you, it hurt, I cried, I felt lonely, I felt like I couldnt be bothered. But I pushed on through, and I focused on spending time with friends, on other interests. Soon enough, I could go a few hours without thinking about her, then a day, then a few days - and eventually I could even think about her without getting upset. It took time, but after letting myself go through the process of grieving the relationship, I got over it. I know it doesnt seem like it now, but you WILL get over her, you WILL move on, and you WILL be happy again. It will just take a little time.
I think, you should just try and let go of the fact of what she has done, or why she has done it, and just focus on yourself, and pushing yourself foward. You are much better off without her, and in a couple of years, you will realise you are a better and stronger person for having gone through it.....
