Moving on from another college breakup

Author

i got my heart broken last night over text. it was only a month but i really cared and his poor communication and inability to open up made me realize it probably wouldn’t have worked long term anyway. still hurts though especially since he was always worried i’d leave… and then he was the one who did.
i think a lot of it came down to immaturity. he’d twist my words couldn’t handle someone like me who’s confident and independent and things just kept getting misunderstood. this is my third breakup in college. my first love ended things right before christmas after almost two years then another relationship that just didn’t click and now this… which actually gave me hope for the first time in a while.
i feel lost drained and kind of stupid for letting myself care again. i know i should focus on school and work but the past couple years have been rough emotionally. i’m transferring this fall so maybe i’ll just wait and let something happen naturally there. i keep running into insecure guys who don’t communicate or consider my feelings and every time i try to talk things out it goes nowhere.
i know i have a big heart and i’m a good person but love has been hitting me hard lately. it feels like i grieve every relationship like a loss and this is the third time now. i don’t get why they all say i deserve better instead of actually stepping up. i feel stuck like i’m back at square one again after last night… and i really need to pull myself together with everything else going on in my life.

hey do you feel like you’re choosing guys who feel familiar in some way, like that same poor communication pattern keeps showing up?

those short ones hit just as hard, especially when it finally felt like hope again and then it’s gone. thinking what’s wrong with me for caring so fast, but it’s just because i feel deeply
