kris101231 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I dated someone for 2.5 years and honestly thought he was the one. (I know I'm young, but people say I am very mature for my age. This was also a very mature relationship.) Even our families thought so. He has a drinking problem (which he won't admit) and I am shocked by his behavior when he is drunk. The person I know would never do the things that he did to me (while he was drinking). So I left when I heard enough. I know it's best that I'm not with the person he is right now, but I'm really missing our old relationship (when he wasn't drinking). It was so, so special. The worst part is, he never fought for me (even though he said his biggest fear in life was losing me). I sent him an email wishing him the best as an attempt at closure, but I didn't hear back for 3 weeks. He just recently emailed me because he said "my friend slapped me for not responding to you. sorry this is late." He probably wouldn't have responded if his friend wasn't appalled. Where does the love go? How can someone just act like they didn't date you for 2.5 years? How can they forget how important that person was to you, and how you were planning the future together? He's acting like nothing happened and we were never anything, which is so bizarre. Again, I know I have to move on. It's not healthy to get back together with him. Coworkers and friends say he is making a fool out of himself at night since the last time I saw him. I'm trying to work out, make friendships a priority and finish my last 3 months of college with a happy heart. It just hurts still. Any advice?
SycamoreCircle Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 His friend probably slapped him to rouse him out of his drunken stupor. From the personal experience of having a drunk as a roommate, you do not want to deal with this. I have a friend, as well, with a drinking problem who is in a relationship. It's BAD. You have to accept that this new side you're seeing IS him. You just didn't see it before. And don't even think about being his savior.
