I was dumped by my boyfriend recently. We had been dating for two years. Last week, he abruptly revealed that relationships are not his thing and he wanted time to be alone. I was shocked since only two weeks ago he was showering me with ‘I love you’s’. Thus, I got mad at him and told him that I didn’t need him in my life. Apparently, he is now completely over me. He talks, laughs and hangs out with other girls. But I feel very emotionally fragile mess at the moment and I miss him a lot. What should I do to get over him? I feel like my life is over now.
Yours sincerely,
Depressed
Dear Depressed,
At this point in life you might feel like your life is over, but it’s really not. You should not let your life revolve around one boy, especially one who is such a jerk. You were right when you told me you don’t need him in your life because you don’t. If he wasn’t able to respect your feelings or the relationship then it’s a good thing you found out! Good riddance to bad rubbish! Focus on your studies, your friends and family and most importantly yourself and soon you’ll realize how naïve you were for thinking that your life was over just because of a silly breakup.
