A few days ago I broke up with my boyfriend and I've been feeling horrible. I probably wouldn't have gotten into a relationship in he first place if I knew I would feel so bad after I broke up with him. I thought I'd be ok because at first I just felt numb, but I'm feeling worse and worse everyday and I don't know what to do. I've struggled alot with depression this year because of the transition from high school to college and this is just making it worse.
I sort of know why he dumped me. I think he felt as if I only wanted sex because when he broke up with me, he told me he felt like he was taking advantage of me for sex. I had sex with him because I wanted to though, not because I thought he wouldn't like me if I didn't.
Now I'm just wondering if it was too good to be true from the beginning and if I'm too cheap and easy to find love.

It's perfectly normal the feel the way you're feeling now. Its not nice to be broken up with, no matter how you put it or what anyone tells you. You WILL feel better though, I promise you that. Never regret something that once made you happy. When I graduated high school (my boyfriend at the time was a year below me) my ex broke up with me - he was also my first boyfriend and I thought I was in love. I was absolutely devastated (he left me to be with my 'best friend') and I was depressed, already suffering with depression. I was upset for months, and then finally one day I woke up and wasn't so sad anymore. Eventually, I felt nothing. I was fine, life went on, I was happy, and I went on to date again.
Anyway, you are definitely NOT cheap or easy or anything like that. Break ups happen, it is absolutely normal and I promise you that you will eventually feel better! Things may seem far from it now and I'm sure you're thinking "This girl has no idea what shes talking about or how I feel" but please believe me when I say everyone has been in your situation before. You'll be ok, love <3
I agree with everything giraffes said. It's Ok so be upset over a break up & sex is OK too. No you're not too cheap or too easy to find love. You deserve to be loved. Whether you choose to wait for sex in a relationship or not. Everyone has different opinions on things like that & sometimes it doesn't work out . Being upset about a failed relationship is ok. Breakups are hard. Whether it's a high school romance or a divorce after 20 years together. Just know there's nothing wrong with you that caused the breakup.
Keep your chin up :) It'll get easier each day!
hugs I know how you feel! I got dumped a few days ago and I feel really depressed about it...he told me he actually has no feelings for me after keeping my hopes up for...6 months? That wasn't very fair and it is no help at all that he keeps talking to me. =/ Now I want to punch happy couples in the face lol
Just keep your chin up and stay strong. I know it's hard to fake a smile even if you're devestated inside, but sometimes it's the best you can do. Life continues anyway, and you're going to get over it someday! hugs again
Right now I'm avoiding him... I miss him alot, but I'm just focusing more on ignoring him. My friends keep telling me I look drained and sad though. My friends told me I can't avoid him forever, but he did try to make a move on one of my friends who he didn't know was my friend. :/ I'm afraid he might've been trash all along because someone told me they saw him with another girl and I told them I trusted him and didn't want to jump to conclusions...
