To be honest, I don't remember how things with my HS boyfriend ended, but there was drama!! I am loving this conversation about mix tapes. Lollollol I listened to Faith Hill's Breathe CD a lot during my angsty period. Lmao And "you were mine" by Dixie chicks was huge on my sad music rotation.
It was sort of mutual? We'd been together for 2 years but he had moved back to Venezuela (we met in undergrad, he was from there) and I was joining the Peace Corps and we just figured it wasn't going to last so we had one last week together and that was that
Oh god. I was 16 and stupid and fell "madly in love" with an over privileged jerkface. Constant up and downs, he manipulated me constantly and then my family relocated 8000 miles away.
We obviously were going to be together foeeverrrrr and he proposed at the airport as I boarded the plane to leave (my parents were DELIGHTED :rolleyes:
I then cried my heart out for weeks, he wound up cheating on me multiple times and his mom called my mom to break up with me before my planned Christmas visit to see him.
We had a really intense relationship where we fought and made up a lot. Finally the fighting was too much and he broke up with me (I would have sooner or later). We slept together one time after that. I met H like a month after we broke up. When he realized we were serious he kind of freaked out. It was weird.
One big reason we fought was because I didn't think he'd ever want to get married. And that is true. Him and his gf have been together almost as long as H and I and they aren't married.

We dated my senior year of high school and first year of college long distance. We were madly in love. Great chemistry and friendship and I have nothing but happy memories of our first year. We weren't emotionally ready for long distance--I was too needy and he was too insecure (kept talking about me leaving him for a frat boy since he continued to live at home). By the end, we were fighting all the time and he cheated on me. He broke up with me in his car at a Mc Donald's parking lot and I still remember the abject pain. It took me a whole year hard stop to get over him. We are friends now and I know it wouldn't have worked. But he is a good egg.

I dumped him. He was mad about something - he punched the windshield in his truck and it cracked. That was it for me. He was very controlling & grew up with an abusive father & I was not going down that path with him. That was the first (and last) act of violence he ever showed towards me. It was 3 days before Christmas, but I was done. I never looked back.
The first time? When she decided that she didn't want to date/marry someone who want Jewish. She changed her mind on that several times. For good? When we had spent a year ambiguously either broken up or long distance.
We stopped talking entirely for several years. We get along okay now but don't have the occasion to talk very often.
I had just gotten into grad school. It was the happiest day ever, like every single person I knew was rooting for me and beyond excited.
Except this loser. He gave me a "I'm breaking up with you because you're smart" speech, but not so eloquently. Sadly I wouldn't let it end and I married the loser 4 years later.
