Brooke's Breakup Story in California - YouBrokeUpHow.com (uBUH)

January 21, 2014 @ (California)

My sophomore year of high school I met a guy, it all started when he threw his football jersey at me and asked me to wear it to the game that night. I barley knew him at the time but sure enough we dated for almost two year afterwards. At the end of my junior year we had been fighting a bit more than usual but nothing out of the ordinary. One day he asked to hang out and within 40 minutes received a text then said he was leaving to go to a party he had forgotten about. I called him out on it and we didn't speak or text for a week afterwards. I finally texted him first and came to my house to talk, our conversation lasted no longer than 5 minutes and we haven't spoken since. It's been 8 months. Over those 8 months I've texted him 3 times trying to make some kind of friendship and he never wants anything to do with it. He blocked me out and pretended I never happened. He was my best friend and the closest I have ever been to someone and I guess that's why I respect his choice and I haven't bothered him. He has a new girlfriend now who he likes to bring back to basketball games at my school (keep in mind he graduated and I haven't) and when I do run into him refuses to make eye contact. Due to his actions I would never want to take him back but I still wish I could have at least made a friendship out of the two years with him.

I would offer one thought that I hope is comforting. I think alot of the time if you've done something wrong to some girl (or guy) you avoid them to avoid the guilt, its nothing personal to them. And sometimes when things just get really over, they just are. I am in contact with 1 of my ex girlfriends (i'm 38 and I've always, despite winding up a parent along the way, been a bachelor). That 1 is my sons mom. I never tell her if I fall in love or if I'm thinking about being serious with a girl, I don't bring my girlfriends around her. I think thats easier for her, as she can just assume I was never a catch, and won't have to feel bad that we didn't work out. When she finds out about a girl of mine I just tell her its nothing serious. I have NO grudge towards her, even though we had an awful split that left me with custody of a 1 year old boy 13 years ago. Most of the other girlfriends I've had i've simply lost their numbers over the years. I think about them, and I think fondly about them, and I'd happily help them out of a jam if they contacted me. I'm grateful for all the love and joy. But I think most of the time talking to those people hurts us both. And its best to just let it all slide into oblivion.
