Who am I? I am who?

I am in no means an expert in love, friendships, relationships or anything of that nature. 

I am just someone who simply got burnt in a previous relationship. 

I want to share my story and experiences with others who may have felt the same or currently feel the same. I want to relate to those that are going through the same things I have gone through and are going through. My stories have absolutely no scholarly support or evidence to them. Here is a quick recap of my previous relationship: 

I dated the same person throughout high school and college, I was 110% committed to the relationship, I can not say the same for my ex-partner, Brandon. As we were both approaching graduating college, Brandon quickly became a different person. A person I did not recognize or know, after almost eight years it was very difficult not being the closest person to Brandon.

One night at the end of July, Brandon broke up with me via text message. I truly wish I saved the message, but I was too angry and upset to keep it, don't mind see his number and/or name in my phone. Brandon and I did not see each other until a week later when he told me he thought he could find better and didn't want to be with me anymore. A month after that, we began to engage in what I like to call canoodling. We canoodled for about two months and he was constantly telling me he was an idiot for everything he did and he was sorry over and over again. This ended when I found out he was dating someone else on the side, he repeatedly lied to me about. I stopped all contact that very moment. A month later, he moved in with her.


I am positive there are a lot of details I have left out, but promise they will come up here and there as I write more. My story is complex, it always was and it always will be.
