i feel like it takes me an abnormally long time to get over someone. like i get that these things are different for everyone but i kinda creep myself out with how obsessed with other people i can get.
i dated this kid for like 2 weeks.
first of all, he was super homophobic, before we even started talking he felt the need to announce that he didn't date bi girls because thats even more people for them to cheat with. i cried it out then forgot about it cause he made some comment about how cute i was.
also, he was my coworker. not only that, but i was his manager and he was just barely done training when i realized there was something going on. at the time it didn't matter, especially because he would tell me how hot it was when i was bossy (tmi? maybe? i dont know.) but now it seems really wrong.
another thing was our ages. i’m 18 and he’s 17 and we’re only like 7 months apart but for some reason i felt disgusted by it. despite being in a relationship with someone with an even bigger age gap before, i felt like i was doing something wrong. my boss somehow found out about this whole situation and kinda reinforced that mindset. they deadass had me thinking i was some nasty p*do.
despite all these warning signs i still went and got emotionally involved with this boy. its been 4 months. he spent 3 of those months tormenting me and making fun of things that i told him. he knew he could get away with it because i had a soft spot for him. he was fired about a month ago by my boss for unrelated reasons.
yet i still keep holding onto what i thought he was. none of these things matter to the emotional side of me because i was in love with the way he made me feel. i went way deep way too fast and that just makes it even more difficult cause i had these ideas in my head of what we could be.
i think im at the point where i’ve gotten over him, i just have to get over the idea of him.
