I just went through my first breakup with a guy I dated for two years. He was my first everything and I’m still really young and in school but the pain feels overwhelming and I don’t fully understand why. I was treated terribly and recently I found out he was mostly interested in me for my body. I gave myself to him easily because I was insecure but I loved him deeply.
I poured my heart into that relationship writing him love letters drawing pictures of us giving him everything I had. I did so much for him and he gave me nothing in return. And yet I’m still hurting over the fact that he’s no longer in my life.
I just want to know does it ever get better? When will I stop feeling so sad over someone who treated me so badly? It’s my senior year and I don’t want to spend it heartbroken over someone who never truly valued me.

do you think part of what hurts is how much of yourself you gave to him? like, the letters, drawings, memories — all that love that had nowhere to go now?
what helped me was not fighting the sadness. i let myself cry, write, vent, sleep too much… all of it. and slowly, i stopped craving the version of him i made up in my head. you’re not weak for missing him it’s just your heart catching up to the truth.
my first breakup wrecked me too i kept asking myself why i missed someone who made me feel small. it took time, but i promise that ache starts to fade once you realize you were always the one giving love for real
