11. He Was 14
It actually began in a very weird way but, being as young as I was (14), ignored it because well, someone actually liked me. When I met him, we went to different schools, he went to a private school and I went to a public school. After a few months of pretty much just an AIM friendship he transferred to my school…first red flag. We started “dating” if you can even call it that at 14, and I started to notice him getting WAY too serious about it. He would talk about being together forever and going to college together. He would even scold me if I got a bad grade because I “might not get into college.” I realized how overwhelming he was and broke up with him. He was so embarrassed that he didn’t want to tell his parents, who he apparently tried to convince every day that we would be “together forever.” He wanted me to go to his house/out to dinner/etc. and pretend we were still together. I felt bad for hurting his feelings so, I did it for a little while. It all finally ended when I began seeing someone else…I told him that I was dating someone and he FREAKED out. He started crying and yelling at me ordering me to give back everything he ever gave me, telling me he wanted to kill himself, and then he pulled a painting out of his closet that I briefly mentioned liking. He said was going to give it to me after our 1-year wedding anniversary and I “ruined that.” That’s when I stopped feeling bad and I did not speak to him again. It was very scary.
