Reader Question: He broke up with me because he met someone else - Is he a bastard?
Marianne asks: I am reeling after my boyfriend of the past 18 months came to me and said that he’s met someone else, he hasn’t cheated on me, but he doesn’t want to continue our relationship. This was a couple of months ago and now they’re a couple and by all accounts really happy, and I’m the rejected ex!
Over the past few months, he had said that things didn’t seem to be working with us and I admit that they weren’t ideal. I was crazy about him though and would have done anything for him and I thought that he would appreciate that. It’s not supposed to be like the movies - this is real life! I definitely did feel like there was a distance building between us and things just weren’t gelling but I thought we could work on it because I truly believed he was the one!
How am I supposed to get past this? Is he a bastard or as you call them, an assclown because I feel so betrayed!
