It's been a while since I posted. I actually moved back to s.cal to be closer to my family. My grandma is at the age where I don't think she has that much longer to live. So I want to be close to be able to help her out with whatever she needs. She pretty much raised me so I love her more than my own mother lol. Anyways, hope all is well. It's so hot here....

So I just wanted to update everyone on my situation. Basically, I had a great time with Nick(the new guy) at Disneyland. We really hit it off. Today, I went to talk to my boyfriend and I told him I couldn't be with him anymore. He didn't take it too good. He kept saying, let's work it out, blah blah. I feel awful for letting him go so sudden but I really like Nick and we're going to continue dating. I can't have both obviously and it was not fair to my now ex-boyfriend. Unfortunately, I didn't tell him there was someone else because I know it would have been chaotic.
5 1/2 years gone. I was a little choked up after I left his house but I'm fine now. I just want to say Thank you to everyone for hearing me out and offering great and helpful advice.

Hey netty, I hope everything works out well for you. I'm glad you had good time at disneyland and I hope things work out with Nick. I know it hurt to let your old boyfriend go but sometimes a change is needed.

honestly, the odds of you marrying a guy you started dating at 17 were slim...didn't want to say it til you made a decision
as long as you are happy then in reality you made the right decision, the only person you have to answer in this world at the end of the day is yourself, (unless of course you believe in a higher power as i do)

I agree with skye, I don't know anyone that has married the person they started dating at the age of 17. I hope things work out well with Nick and he treats you like queen, haha.
Well I guess I could give you an update on my situation. I told you all that I was going to find out what on earth was going on in my life with that girl. She sent a text to my phone the other night and I asked her why she stayed in town and that she should have called since I had nothing to do since my roomates were gone. I simply got the reply "That's not my fault" for when I told her I had nothing to do and she should have called me. I wasn't too happy with that remark so i just went ahead and asked her what was going on. Then she blamed me about how it's not something that people discuss through text messaging, which I totally agreed with her but I told her it just kinda came out since it had been building and I haven't even gotten remotely close to telling her face-to-face. I told her I would be more than happy to come over there or call her even though it was 1am, but she said she was just going to bed and we could talk about it later. I told her she better inform me of when she's ready to talk about it because I want to and she said she would, so we'll see how many days it takes before I actually have to call her or something.

oh great, my now ex b/f just called me 4 times. I didn't answer. This isn't good, I want him to leave me alone so we can both get over this.

Well I would expect him to call, especially after dating for over 5 years. You'll probably have to talk to him again and let him know once again it's over with. I'm sure he really didn't expect it unless you gave him subtle hints that he may have picked up on.
Sooner or later he'll stop calling, just don't give away any signs that your giving into trying to work it out.

Yeah, that's why I didn't answer. I don't want to give him false hope. If we are truly meant for each other we will cross paths again.
I know, he wasn't expecting it. He was so sure that I would never be the one to break it off but...oh well.

Yea if he wasn't expecting it then he probably needs some time to cool down. I'm sure he still is stunned by it, give it time to sink in.

Oh man, BIG physics test today at 1 o'clock. We have a review during lecture and taking the exam during out lab hours. I hope it goes smoothly, I always need to do good on the first test of the semester, that way I don't have to work my butt off to get my grade up.

My best friend is my girlfriend from when i was 17, and when we broke up we never stopped talking, maybe he just wants to be friends now? Idk, I'm not experienced in breaking up at 5 years but i do know a thing or two about breaking up.

Wow, I don't know too many people that can date for that long, break up and still talk regularly. I've tried it before and it just doesn't work out, usually at some point one or the other wants to get back together.

Well, me and my girl started dating when we were 17 and we're still going strong almost 7 years later...honestly, the odds of you marrying a guy you started dating at 17 were slim...didn't want to say it til you made a decision

I suppose it helps that we stayed in the same city and moved in together when we started university.

Same here. I've known my wife since 7th grade. We started dating in our senior year of high school. We are now married with one child and another on the way. Have been a couple since 1995, married since 2002.

It's great to hear so many success stories! The only couple I know who were high school sweethearts and got married are now separated. He has a drinking problem.
I'm glad for you, Netty. Just hang in there, your ex-boyfriend needs time to accept reality!
