Jerime and I were PERFECT for each other. We were the same age (before him, I dated a man 15 years older than me), we had a lot in common, got along amazingly well, had easy conversation, and just really clicked. I still don't really know what went wrong. Things were going so well. He even invited me to dinner with his entire family and they loved me! They said that I "fit in perfectly!" Then, I also went on vacation with him to the family vacation spot.

One day, he decides to tell me that he's not over his ex-girlfriend. I should have known - he talked about her constantly. But I just figured it was because she was a huge part of his life for a really long time, and I'm not the jealous type. He had assured me several times that he was over her. So this came as a huge shock to me, and tore my world apart. How could someone act like they care about you so much, only to be leading you on and then completely crush your heart? I just don't get it. He always seemed so sincere. And now I'm left with nothing but pictures, letters, and a huge hole in my heart. I'm so lost and so depressed. I felt certain that he was, "the one." Now I have no choice but to move on, which is so much easier said than done! I'm trying so hard to handle this with dignity and maturity (and to just let it go), but it's getting harder every day. When will it get easier??
