My now exboyfriend was deployed overseas for a year. We decided to end our long distance relationship (plane tickets are expensive!) and actually move in together. So I was driving, with my life in my car, 1000 miles from my hometown to a city where I knew no one. I planned on waiting a year for him to come home so we could get our lives started.

When I made it to my new place, his parents helped move all of his things into my (our) new apartment. His bed, dresser, couch, dishware, TV etc etc. You name it, it was here. Things went well for most of the year. He came home from leave for a week after 6 months. But a couple months before his big day back home he stopped saying I love yous. Then he said we should live in separate places. He started acting strange. Then he broke up with me, over webcam while he was overseas. This was the man of my dreams and he dumps me a month before he's suppose to come home. I left my entire life behind to be with him, and I never got to see him come home. I had dreamed of that day for a year!

A few months later I find out he's already living with someone else. And I have ALL of his stuff. Well, not anymore - I'd rather sleep on the floor than in his bed, eat with my hands than use his forks, stare at the wall than watch his TV. Every inch of my apartment used to have part of him in it. It was almost unlivable. I felt like I was being haunted by an evil spirit. Oh, and that family heirloom in the picture? Rotting in a landfill somewhere.

I started dating my best friend's brother... we had been dating 3 months on valentines and he surprised me with a diamond necklace... but is was really not my type at all, yes yes it was diamond but it was like one of those trail of diamonds and totally not my type. You don't understand, I am FAR from romantic, wasn't in love, annoyed by him, stressed out and not in the mood for a diamond necklace... poor guy...

Later he told me it was really his sister's (my best friend) necklace but she couldn't enjoy it because she didn't have a guy to share it with. A week later he told me he loved me, I said "kudos's" and a week later... i broke his heart  :X  sorry dude.

I was madly in love with my boyfriend of 2 years. He was amazing and everything I've ever wanted and my first true love. Well he moved to Michigan from New York and we decided to have a long distance relationship.

One day while joking around he said we should break up but still be "together." I loved him so much I would've done whatever he wanted. He said he just needed a break.  Uh huh...a break. 

Well we were still "together" with the I Love You's and everything but I didn't even get a call from him on valentine's day. A couple days went by and he just said he was busy so I got over it. About 4 weeks later I called his house bc his cell was off and his sister told me he "was out with his girlfriend."  I have never felt pain like I felt when I heard her say those words.  When I confronted him about it he said he asked her out on Valentine's Day hence no call for me. To this day I lose my appetite when I think about that stupid hallmark holiday.

Well, I had a boyfriend who liked to buy me stuff. That would have been great had he liked to talk to me too. He bought me an old nintendo DS one Christmas. I didn't think much of it at the time. I mean, I liked it, but I didn't play it much. Not soon after, we broke up. It was horrible. I felt horrible. In a fit of not knowing what to do with myself I went to Target and bought myself a Mario Bros. game. I used to love them when I was a kid. I got home and sat on my couch with my DS and my new game...and I didn't get up for about 3 hours. And when I did get up, I felt much better. Nintendo actually helped me through my break up and now I use my DS all the time. I'm kind of a dork about it. Sooner than later I will have to move on to the new DS lites as my old one is giving out. But, I think it might be the best thing that came out of that relationship. That and the understanding that just because someone buys you a DS doesn't mean they want to talk to you.

I gave her this years ago when we were dating. She loved it. We moved in together. We started fighting. She moved out. All of this years ago.

This weekend in the middle of moving out, I literally found a monster under the bed.
