I am 22, attending college in colorado and i just recently ended an eight month relationship. I guess i was really niave but i thought itwould last forever, he was the one. alas no, he works at a hospital and attends school so the stress of his job really put a strain on things. At first everything was fine though, i would see him on weekends we would study the rest of the time.He finally confessed he was feeling like he was on theverge of having a nervous breakdown, i told him to get some help or i couldn't date him. he did, cut back his hours and so for a while it was alright. the stress of seeing him in that condition practically destroyed me. i went through a month of complete confusion. then things simmered down some but i guess the truama of being so close to some one who goes through that much stress just started to wear on me.
I don't know why but i still thought to my self, the love of my life has arrived! how nice!such bliss and happyness.
then more problems arouse when i tried to live with him for a month. it was so awefull. he worked all the time, had no friends, no human contact, other then me, his family and this girl named jenny ( whom i shall get to later)
anyways the month progressed, miserably. he said i didn;t understand his ambition ( he wants to be a nurse, i am content jsut as a graphic designer)
But, Jenny, a girl he works with did. I had actually introduced themto each other, i thought she was really weird. i was really depressed all month. i was greiving from the experience of being so truamatized along with him, and i couldn't find a job, and he remianed so distant.
after the month was over, he called me out of the blue and dumped me. sort of.
he siad he needed time to be alone, he was tired.
it sucked. then jenny arrived on the scence and told me she had slept with him three weeks ago. ( his version is that she was lieing, she wanted him and just said that to make me sa
then he took me back, and dumped all over agian, saying yeah i need time.....but maybe we can be friends, maybe more who knows.....
is the friend thing even possible? how is that done with out blowing your brians out? i mean he smells so familiar.
has anyone out there been through something like this? i could really use some advice
