Not only did this guy’s girlfriend dump him for a girl but she expects him to wait for her. Really?
Dear Annabelle,
My girlfriend and I dated for 2 years and recently broke up because she wanted to date other people. About two weeks later, she began dating someone who I, all of her friends, and half of the school hate. You would think that would be a warning sign! Also, she’s bisexual and I know she won’t want a girl forever. My ex says that we will get back together eventually but they’ve been dating for almost a month and are already saying they love each other. This is really stressful and I’m not sure if I should stick around.
No you shouldn’t. When you break up with someone, you shouldn’t stick around and wait for them to change their mind. Regardless of the fact that you and half of the school hate the girl she’s dating right now – it doesn’t make a difference to your ex. She’s dating her, she loves her and you’re getting hurt. By telling you that the two of you will eventually get back together, she’s keeping you on the back burner for when she gets bored with her new relationship (if she ever does). She’s being extremely selfish in wanting to date someone new but keeping you around just in case. No one deserves to be on a back burner.
Neither you or she can predict the future. You might walk into the library tomorrow and meet the girl of your dreams. She might walk in Starbucks tomorrow and meet someone else and dump the girl she’s with now. The only thing you’re doing it putting your life on hold for someone who doesn’t deserve it. It’s time for you to start living your life for you – not her. She made the choice to not be in your life which means she lost the right to have any power over you what-so-ever. It’s time to move on to greener pastures.
