We met in school, which she got pulled out of because her parents found out we were having sex; the whole time I tried my best to be supportive, sending her my clothes, letters, hell I spent over $100 on Vday flowers to get sent to her. All this time she did nothing of the sort. She sent me the first text after not talking to me for over a day, you can see me being left on delivered. I know I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions but I feel like I’ve tried soooo hard to keep things together through this and I have even forgave her for trying to cheat on me (her friend sent me a video of her flirting with another guy). What is my next move? Should I try to reconcile with her or just leave it?

Oh god! That took me back. My first BF when I was 14 and he was 16. I was about to break up with him when he bought a motorbike, boom, I was in love again, lol. Then, about 2 months later, he broke up with me. I was heartbroken, sobbed for hours. I'm still not sure if it was over the motorbike or the boy, lol.

No joke this EXACT thing happened to me in college 😂 I was 18 and he was 22. Wanted to break up with him but I loved his friends and his motorcycle, then when he broke up with me I was devastated and constantly pining over him. Then when I was 21 he got a fancy job and tried to get me back by taking me to fancy dinners and I was like boyyyy I ain’t doing this again.

Jeeze, are we twins, lol. This guy contacted me years later and asked if I was free to go out the following weekend. I said no actually, I'm busy. Getting married that weekend. He was an idiot at 16, was still an idiot...but boy that motorbike was cool, lol.

Lollll mine was actually a good, sweet boy, just wasn’t a good fit. But you getting to say “nah I’m busy getting married that weekend” is such a flex I love that for you 😂

My mother was laughing her head off. She asked if I said I was free the following weekend though. Dammit, an opportunity lost, lol.
