Ugh. Boys

Andrea Julia · Coach

Oh, that sucks! I'm so sorry. Just a random thought and I could be way off: maybe he is just feeling frustrated by the distance and the fact that he doesn't get to be as much of a part of your life and is looking for a reaction. He may just want you to call him and beg for him back and tell him how important he is to you. However, I don't know him so I don't know if he is the type of person to do the fake break-up for attention thing.

I would hope that someone that is really breaking up with you after a year would at least give you a real break-up over the phone.

Carrie's (the main character in the show) boyfriend broke up with her on a post-it note which he stuck on her computer.

heatherlynn, that totally sucks. i am so sorry. you really deserve better and trust me, one day he'll come crawling back to apologize for being such a coward and by then, you will be so over it.

and i totally remember that SATC episode, carrie and her boyfriend at the time, berger, were having problems because he couldn't deal with her being more successful than him and so they decided to go on a "break" and then they made up and the next night he left her apt and on her computer monitor he left a post-it that said:

"I can't. I'm sorry. Don't hate me."

And it was soo funny because when carrie told the girls, samantha was like:

"well, at least the motherf*cker's concise."

which still totally cracks me up! and whatever, carrie got w/ big in the end so who needs needy insecure berger anyway?

Seriously! You don't need him - what a jerk! I will never understand why some people just don't have the courage to say what needs to be said. A text message? Wtf?! You should drive down there and pull a shopchicago33 and slap him in the face.

Guys always say their exes are psycho. I wonder why?!?!! We're not psycho, they're just asshole jerks.

Vent here all you want girl. I'll give you the advice I posted earlier: 1) keep busy so you don't dwell on it and 2) under no circumstances should you listen to the radio - it's meant to drive you crazy.

You're better off without a guy like that even though it may not seem it now. Feel better!

bluebird-

I already made the mistake of listening to the radio on my drive back from my parents this weekend. It definately didnt help!!!

He has a lot of issues that I have dealt with for a long time. Everyone keeps saying that he is doing that bc he wants more attention(similar to what you said AJ). I have been so busy with my new job that him and I had seemed to be on different schedules. Well now that he is at his post college job (started today) I thought things would get better. I just wasnt given the chance.

When I got the text the first thing I thought about was that amazing scene where she smashed the vase ( that is one of my fav SATC scenes for some reason). My parents sent me flowers to work on my 2nd day so all I did was stare at that vase and I considered smashing bc i was so pissed only i didnt want to clean it up.

Luckily before we broke up I was really busy so it has stayed the same and I am trying to look on the positive side about how bad I thought I would be at a long distance relationship and now I dont have to worry about it.

I just dont get how he can be so freaking immature!!!!!

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

heatherlynn, that was one of my favorite scenes too...it was just so--visceral, you know?

one of my other favorite scenes was the one where miranda runs to steve in the rain and says "maybe i can believe it" and then they passionately kiss (season 2, when they first get together).....

anyway, back to your situation. he's just threatened heatherlynn, you have so much going for you right now and he's probably scared sh*tless at his job. so he is just acting like a little kid because he doesn't know how to deal.

try not to let it get you down and always always always be the bigger person. don't give into doing something petty or immature just because he's being petty and immature. that way, at the end of the day you'll come off smelling like a rose and he'll be the one kicking himself.

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

that is the height of crappiness! what an immature jerk! i don't know the history of your relationship or what he's like, but from my point of view he's indirectly done you a favor. at least now you aren't tied down to a boyfriend who's so self-centered and immature. that is such a cold move. i'd want to break something too!

Dizzy · Marc Jacobs

Sweetie - that sucks so much - I'm really sorry. He does sound like he's not adding much to your life, though. Good luck going through the breakup stage. I hate that! But I really think you're going to end up so much happier without someone like that in your life!

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I'm sorry to hear that! There is someone better for you out there (maybe even right here in good ole NWA

)
