I am his first serious girlfriend

Submitted on Thursday, May 08, 2008
By Samantha, 21, from WV:

I have been dating this guy who is 24 for close to five months. I am his first serious girlfriend. Everything progressed fast and we see each other every weekend. Within a month we said that we love each other. In following months, I met his family, he met mine, and his friends and he told me and his friends that he never loved a girl like me and he wants to marry me. I have one more year of school to go and all his friends are getting married and he admitted to being depressed by that. I told him his time will come. We talk a lot about weddings because of those friends, but not about us getting. married.

Recently, I made a mistake and got completely drunk and made out with my roomate. I didn't have any rational otherwise I would have never done that. I told him everything and he broke up with me. Later that same night he took me back and said we were fine. One week later he was distant and told me he needed a break. Basically he broke up with me. He said he didn't know if he was in love with me anymore. It's been a little over a week and I'm dying. He said he broke up with me because things were going too fast and I was pressuring him into marriage. He said the thing with my roomate topped it off. He said he realized the seriousmess when he got me a phone on his plan. He said we can be friends but we can't talk for a while and he needs to find out if "I'm the one he can't live without." I talked to him once and asked him if he would go to my friend's wedding with me and he said no, then kept going on about how thats awkward and we can be friends but it's only been a week and we shouldn't talk a lot. What do I do and will he come back?

VictorM's advice:

He's trying to hold on to you but your betrayal is too much for him to handle. Forgetting you is not easy since he was so emotionally invested in you, but every ounce of strength he finds will take him a step further away from you; only moments of weakness makes it appear like he's still trying to work things out.

Will he ever get over your betrayal? It's possible but improbable.

Do you think that if you get completely drunk that you could kill someone? Have sex with a horse? Of course not. So cut out the bullshit about not being rational when you fucked your roommate. You didn't do anything you weren't willing to do all along. You're using alcohol as an excuse.

Comments:
made out with my roomate

She doesn't say anything about fucking the roommate. And cheers to you, girlie, for coming clean and admitting your little mistake.

It's never about the sex, it's about the betrayal of trust. And even making out disturbs that layer of trust. If you're his first serious girlfriend, yeah, I can see where he can't let it go. He probably has lots of walls built up and letting you in was a gamble.

You can recover from this, but he has to be willing to trust you again. But if you're still living with that roommate, he's gonna always wonder about "next time." Even if there isn't one.
 
Oh, and what should you do? Honor his wishes (since he is the injured party) and just be his friend. Don't bug him to death with phone calls, etc. He has a right to feel however he wants to feel about this, whether or not it seems rational to you. If you care about him, honor how he feels. Tell him you understand. How would you feel if the situation was reversed? But who knows, maybe this guy was looking for any excuse to leave.
