Worst ex/breakup thread eh? Sure I'll bite.

So, all throughout high school, I was active in my church's youth group, doing random group activities and such. I got to meet a lot of friends that had the same mentality that I had about things, which was a nice change of pace compared to some of my friends back at school. Anywho, I met a lot of girls as well. I got in close with a couple of them, and we ended up talking a lot. I even went to her homecoming, but it was more of a platonic thing, neither of us saw being with the other in a relationship.

Okay, flash forward to me graduating high school. I went on to school, while this girl I was close with was getting ready for her senior year. While I was at college, we drifted apart a bit, but it was all for the best; I was having a blast, she found a bf, etc. Come April of my freshman year in college, I found out she got dumped by her boyfriend because he cheated on her with another girl multiple times. She was distraught, prom was days away, etc. I came to her rescue (still in a platonic way) and went to prom with her, all was well, etc.

Summer starts, I get back from college and get home, my youth pastor wants me to fill in last minute for a missionary trip to Jamaica, only $200. I was down for that and I had the money, so I went to Jamaica with my youth group, and it was one of the best experiences I've ever been a part of. The girl went along too, and there we finally clicked, so to speak. It was a wonderful feeling that we both shared the same attraction for each other, and it was the best feeling ever being with this girl. The summer was crazy but we ended up at least talking almost every day, and I couldn't have asked for a better summer.

As summer comes to an end, me and her have a long talk about the future. She was going to college over 4 hours away from where I would be at. We eventually decided that it would be best if we broke up, since it would be her first year at college, she wanted to get settled in, etc. She was kind of on the fence until about a month after she got to college, but after that we ended it mutually.

After all that happened, I found out the truth about her. It turns out she lied about a lot of stuff and talked a lot of shit behind everyone's backs. She turned out to be promiscious, partied a lot and got into fights with other people, which caused the police to get involved at several points. She lied to the police about what happened to make it look like she was a victim as well. When at college while we were deciding what we wanted to do, she ended up partying a lot and slept with a couple of guys there, which I found out from her former best friend/roommate. (she talks shit about her roommate too, which is why they do not live together anymore) After finding all this newfound information out, I felt really hurt after all that I did for this girl, so I called her up a few days before my birthday and let her have it. I asked her questions like "Are you really happy with who you are?" and got under her skin. She didn't say too much and I was being quite the ass, but only after that confrontation was I able to get over the situation.

All in all, it sucked losing a good friend-turned girlfriend; she was the most serious I was with any girlfriend that I have had before. Something between that year of college we both changed a lot, but a lot of her changes happened to be very negative. I've been more careful with guarding my heart for any real chance of a relationship, as I don't want to go through anything like that again.

Not the craziest of stories but a lesson that I learned the hard way, take note young kiddies, guard your hearts!
