    Hi April,
    My boyfriend and I have been dating for quite some time , and we are both 18. It seemed like we had a great relationship we were even talking about marriage for the future.The only thing i had a problem with was his insecurities he was oftentimes jealous .So we decided we needed to take a short break to just have sometime apart and now he has a new girlfriend only three weeks after we decided to take a break , and i am heartbroken. The way I found out was that he had deleted me off his facebook . I decided to send him a message on there and ask why, and there they were him and his new girlfriend seeming as happy as ever.Also he had posted on his facebook some of the same stuff i had told him when we were dating. For example i had told him jokingly I’m the best girlfriend in the world right? and he would say yes. Well on his facebook he has up that this girl that he has only known for basically a few days is the best girlfriend in the world, and that he wants to be with her forever.I feel so betrayed I really thought what we had was real because my boyfriend seemed so sincere.So my question would be how can you be in love with somebody and then a few weeks later just forget they ever existed.I thought the break was temporary not permanent, and now everything is messed up and leaving me confused.

    Breaks in a relationship are never a promising sign, and while you may have thought it was going to be an innocuous temporary split, he probably had other feelings brewing. The result is that he used the split to break up for good and start going out with someone else. I know how disappointed and hurt you are because this probably feels like not just rejection, but betrayal, too, because you were under the impression the break was going to be temporary, and you’d get back together again as before or even renewed — and that didn’t happen. The opposite did. 🙁

    Rejection is very hard to take, but no one dies from it, and neither will you. What you need to do is find a way to stay busy and move on. Take the sad and negative energy you’re feeling and use it for productive ends. Go try a new sport or invite some people you don’t know to have coffee with you. Get a manicure or a fabulous haircut for summer. Do things that fortify YOU and if you still feel low, go out there and do things that fortify those less fortunate than you by volunteering and making the world a better place working with veterans, the elderly, the sick — or whatever works for you.

    I’m sorry that you’re hurt, but you’re going to get over this — I just know it. In the meantime, come join me on Facebook at AskApril.com on Facebook at this link: [url]http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=110265355684755&ref=mf[/url]. I hope to see you there. 🙂
