Do all relationships that end, end badly? I'm in high school. For the past 8 months I was in a relationship with a girl that I really, really, liked. I even loved her. It was pretty rocky, though. She (said that she) had many insecurities that I just could not dispel. For example, she did not like that she was not my first ever girlfriend and that my friends were shy of her (they're still at the awkward-around-girls stage). She admitted that she did not think that she was able to be in a relationship. She made all this deal that we should break up because she was "not mature enough". Most of the time, though, she and I had a lot of fun spending time with each other and everything seemed fine. Then, finally, she breaks up with me. Well, I had seen it coming. I was surprised that I didn't feel too bad. A little empty or alone-in-the-world (I have problems with my family probably more severe than most teenagers, so I don't bond with them very much) but, all in all, ok. I just continue my life and consider our split for the better, as it wasn't working out for her towards the end. Then, a week later, I find out that the day after she broke up with me, she started a relationship with a close male friend of hers who goes through girlfriends pretty quickly. Now, for some reason, I feel very sad/bad. Were they waiting for my relationship with her to end so that they could start one? Isn't that pretty tactless? What she did is completely inconsistent with why she told me she wanted to break up with me. She had accused me of dating her just as a "bounce-back". Well, what is this new development? Everything I did with her feels like a lie, like she was just trying to get rid of me so that she could take this other person. I believed her when she told me that she loved me and I believed myself when I told her the same. But are we really mature enough to make those judgments? Should high schoolers even have relationships? What if they know that they will break up when one of them graduates? I guess what I am looking for are some words of wisdom, and some help to make myself not feel so bad right now.
