We broke up but decided to remain friends. A couple things you have to realize. One it hurts worse than being tazed (and yes I have been). Two its going to be AWKWARD AS HELL for a while. Me and Jay almost didn't make it through the awkward as hell part because well I still loved her, I wanted her back, I was hurting and it was pretty bad, but when you fight through that things get better. Her and I are best friends again like we were when we were in high school, shes moved on with another guy and I'm talking to Amanda and meeting her for a date Tuesday to see how it goes maybe I'll have a girlfriend again, maybe I won't.
Point is it hurts like hell for at least a couple weeks, if it didn't THAT would be weird, this, this is just normal and it sucks but things do get better like they did for me and despite what I thought at the time I am much happier WITHOUT Jay as my girlfriend than I was dating her. Do I still love her? f**k yeah she was my first true love, my first time, my first lots of things, and thats something you never replace. Would I ever date her again? No, f**k no. She took me for granted, she used me, she tore my heart out on multiple occassions and stomped on it, and her and I just didn't fit together anymore at the end, too much fighting too much stress when we started dating at 18 we were perfect, she needed a guy like me and I needed a girl like her but people grow up things change.
So it hurts, it gets better like it did with me, I still love Jay I'm her best friend, I am going to her wedding in a couple years and being the Maid of Honor :p
