I remember it well, since we felt the need to break up and get back together repeatedly for a year. That's a whole lot of tears shed while listening to "The Scientist" by Coldplay over and over.

God, I am so happy that we didn't end up together.

OMG that describes my junior year of college to a "T." Haha.

Ugh, it's such a convoluted story, but in the end I ended our friendship because I couldn't handle the ups and downs. I loved him so much, but I knew our relationship wasn't healthy. I was still a mess when I ended it.

That really sucks, bluesky It's terrible when you have no sort of closure.

My college boyfriend broke my heart. We dated for 4 years through college and into my first year of law school. I was studying my ass off so I wasn't around as much. One night I was up late writing a paper and he was sleeping on the couch next to me. His phone rang and I tried to answer assuming it was one of our friends needing a designated driver. I missed the call but it went to voicemail so I checked it and it was one of our mutual friends asking boyfriend to "come over and play." I woke him up and kicked him out of my place. Come to find out he'd been cheating on me with a gazillion different people. He lost his virginity to me, guess he needed to play catch up quickly. We had a huge falling out and our friends divided over it. Years later we are all friends again, he's happily married (to one of my sorority sisters!) with a two year old and I'm happily married.

I met DH a few months after I broke up with boyfriend. DH was supposed to be a one night stand while I was studying abroad during law school, but we ended up staying together. I recently learned that I have the one-night-stand-turned-DH in common with several MMers!

I dated a guy from Ontario for almost a year. I was crazy about him, probably loved him. He really couldn't move the the US and I wasn't willing to move to Canada.

my HS/college boyfriend... we dated from freshman year of high school 'til he broke up with me when we were 24 (we broke up for a couple of semesters, but other than that, pretty much dating throughout)... I was DEVASTATED. In hindsight, the devastation was mainly because I was afraid of what my future would be without the stability of having him around, not really about losing him, and I eventually recovered. We're actually really good friends now... he even gave DH Patriots tickets this year- crazy!

My first serious BF my junior/senior year of college. He was talking marriage and would say things like "I'm doing this for us and our future kids" (law school). He cheated on me with my then best friend. Ugh. That was a very, very rough six months for me. I still think about him from time to time. I'm curious what he's up to. He ended up cheating on former best friend too. Serves that bitch right.

College BF. We fought a lot over really stupid stuff, and were totally immature. Also, I was not affectionate enough or loving enough for him. Prob b/c I was insecure.

It took a while to break up, but still so crushing. Ah, to be 22 and totally immature...

Dated all through HS and a year of college: he just stopped calling. A year later, it was pretty obvious that he "accidentally" ran into me at school & he finally asked if I'd want to date again. I said No. He is now a very successful hairdresser (music major). Broke my heart. Why, you ask? He said I got angry because he couldn't get tickets to a concert (Chicago). I don't even remember that. He married the girl he dropped me for, and a year later she was found dead in the trunk of his car......

What the what?!
