How old are you? I'd guess teen, mid to late. But I'm guessing.
I only had one meaningful relationship when I was your age (if I'm right) and it lasted about 7 years, then she decided to sleep with a few other guys so I booked. heh.
Bitter? I was for a while I guess. Honestly now though, I miss talking to her when she was still sane, or maybe when we were still friends? I don't miss the "love". I also miss her family, but I still keep in touch with a lot of them so that's not that big of an issue.
Her I don't talk to since I got an e-mail from her about two years after we broke up saying she's pregnant, and kind of hinting she wanted to get back together with me, even though the kids not mine, I wrote back a short and sweet "best of luck, I don't think we should talk until you get your life in order" e-mail, and now she's married to the guy that knocked her up. (at least I'd guess it's him).
After her I didn't date or anything for a while. The next girl I dated turned out to be a psycho, after two weeks of dating I had a doctors appointment to get my knee looked at (I busted it up playing hockey) and I told her about it b/c she was a nurse and asked if there were any doctors she could recommend. She recommended one and I said ok, I'll go see him. I'll call you when I get home, etc etc.
Well, I'm in the waiting room and a nurse (desk clerk) calls my name so I walk up and expect to be led to a room, but she says "Phone call, line 3" so I answer it thinking "Shit, my dad's dead and my mom somehow tracked me down to here" -the days before I had a cell-phone. But no, it's the girl I've dated for two weeks. "Hey! What's up?" ...."uh, I'm waiting for the doc, I'll call you when I get home..bye." *click* "Sorry about that" (to the nurse).
So I'm sitting in the examination room and the doctor's looking at my knee, and twisting it (looking at the x-ray) etc etc... *knock knock* on the door. She walks in....
At this point I'm seeing clips from Fatal Attraction going through my head, but I smile...nervously and introduce her to the doc. We get home and I chew her out. 2 weeks of dating and you walk into my doctors appointment?
Anyway. long story short, she pulled another thing similiar to this about a week later and I broke it off b/c she's psycho.
So then I didn't date anyone till I moved back to New Orleans, about 6 months later, and now I'm about to ask my girlfriend to marry me. wee.
Bitter though? I don't think I've ever been bitter...just upset and / or dissapointed in the other person. "Let down by someone that shouldn't"
If my x-fiancee had come up to me and said "hey chris, don't you feel we're not working out as well as we used to? I think we should call it off" Before she had slept with the two guys I found out about, things would've been hurtful, but I would've still been her friend probably, and there wouldn't have been the dissapointment factor. I would've still respected her.
(ok, this has gotten too long now, so Ciaocitos!)
