Update on the Situation

So a lot has happened since my last post regarding this situation. It just so happens that Adel was not cheating on Brittany, my former girlfriend. It turned out that Adel’s sister’s best friend completely stole Adel’s identity and deceived Brittany and made her believe he was Adel. He completely fabricated a person and tailored this fake persona to that which appeared perfect to her, and she fell for it and for someone that never existed.

I called her today because I just wanted to tell her I was sorry for freaking her out last week. She told me she think’s she made the biggest mistake in her life and that she was so sorry for trying to push me out of her life. She started to cry on the phone and she said that she feels horrible because now she can probably feel what she had put me through, and I said in all honesty you probably do, but this is even more than what you did to me, this is completely destroying her life and making her believe in something that never existed.

I didn’t really know what to do. She said that she has no friends or social life because of him, and it’s just, since I know what it feels like to go through this alone since I was out on my internship when this happened to me. Be this not just because we have history together in the past, but it’s just no one should have to experience something like this, alone especially. The only thing that I told her I could do was just be there if she needed someone to talk to since I sort of could relate to her. I don’t want to be involved because this is still her problem, but at the same time, she shouldn’t have to go through this alone.

So yeah, that’s my story.

That’s fine, and your a realyy nice guy to even allow yourself to get involved with this in the first place, seeing all that you’ve been through. Being supportive is great, just guard your heart, as it hasn’t been that long ago yours was broken.People can however change, just don’t be the recipent of her possible re-bound.Take things slowly and see what happens. Don’t want to see you get hurt more then you already have been :)

Yeah I all ready made it perfectly clear to myself that if anything were to happen between us again, that she’d **** well prove to me that she’d never do this again to me. This isn’t about trying to get back with her or something or trying to win her over, this is just trying to be there as a friend because that’s what she needs right now, at least coming from experience.

Then by all means be there for her. We all need friends when in need… She’s lucky to have you. Hope she realizes this :)

**** man, that’s messed up, the girl who did that to her. You’re a nice guy because my natural reaction would be to make her suffer the way she made me suffer. But, good on you for being there for her. I hooe everything works out for you.

So, wait, lemme get this straight, she left you for a facade?
She cheated and broke up with you for a person that didn’t even really exist?

Seas - Yeah I’m sure she’s realizing now that she’s lucky I still even want to talk to her and not make fun of her or something.

Nisa - Yeah the guy is this Adel’s sister’s best friend and it really is messed up for him to mess with her life like this. I know I should be like “haha you deserve this” but it’s just.. no one deserves to get their heart broken no matter what the situation, especially like this. To be completely fooled.. I just want to make sure she won’t like.. kill herself or something.

kristie - Yeah pretty much, she didn’t know it at the time because he did a good job at gaining her trust. Now it all make sense why he never made the effort to visit her or even meet her.

So what are you going to do?
Does she want you back?
If she does, do you want her back? This would certainly solve your woes, but alternately, it would never be the same again. That’s the dilemma you face.
I have no advice for you if you’re looking for it, lol, cause I’d rather not think about what I’d have to do if I were in your situation. ♥

Haha funny. I’m doing the only thing I can do right now, which is be a friend to her. I just really hope she’s smart enough to not be talking to this kid anymore. I remember how it was going through this without anyone in Chicago and I was forced to make friends to get over this and it was very difficult and I just feel like no one should have to go through that, no matter who it is. I’m sorry if people don’t agree with me or if I seem to have compassion for her when I shouldn’t, but I just feel that no one deserves to be in this situation. She needs someone to talk to and to relate to, at least that’s what I needed which is why I came here, so I’m just going to give her that much respect at least.

I don’t know if she wants me back and honestly I’d rather not think about that right now. In the only situation if I’d even consider considering to take her back would be if she would show me that she made a ridiculous mistake in her life being naive and immature about everything which would show me that she has had her eyes opened and she matured because of this. Only then I’d consider even considering taking her back because I mean, in all honesty she did this to me once, she’s just going to have to **** well prove to me she won’t be this immature again to drop everything for someone she doesn’t even know or something she’s proved to believe in for a very long time. I just have a feeling right now she doesn’t want me back which is fine, or what’s going through her head is if she ever wants me back “how could he ever want me back after what I did to him” or something, I dunno.

I don’t think you’re being stupid or that you should turn a cold shoulder to her, and as a matter of fact, I genuinely respect that you are doing what you are. I’m not sure I could do something so remarkably benevolent and kind. You should have compassion for her, you’re a good human being, which isn’t what a lot of people can say. And you’re right: no one does deserve to be where she is right now.

Well I hope that whats meant to happen will, and in the meantime, I’d continue to be her friend.
Good luck! =D lol

Thanks for the support kristie, I really appreciate it. I think that’s what I’m going to do, I might give her a call tonight if she doesn’t contact me, just to see how she’s doing. One thing I’m sort of worried about is because when she was younger she used to sort of scratch and hurt herself when she was upset and I don’t want this to get that out of hand.

I hope everything with you is going all right as well. It’s just so strange how all of this suddenly happened, because if I didn’t go on that internship and meet my friend Saranya, then she’d still be completely oblivious and something even more serious could have happened. I’m hesitant to say it, but it almost seems like fate.

You’re welcome. =)
DOes she want you talking to her, though? Has she changed her mind on the whole you-not-talking-to-her thing?

Self mutilation = no bueno. =/

Its going well enough with me, I’m just taking a few too many AP classes this year, and I’m a bit overwhelmed with family issues. But me and Eric are just dandy. =D He’s the best thing I have going for me right about now, and I’m glad for the fact he’s here in my life. If he wasn’t, I wouldn’t be nearly as jovial right now. =)

I believe it is! Truly, what else could it have been? Either she was having doubts that you didn’t know about and they needed to be brought to light so you could move on with your life, or your relationship wasn’t strong enough, and this whole ordeal is meant to strengthen it to make it last longer. You decide, later on from now, which one it is, but either way, this is entirely too crazy to be coincidental. You know what I mean?

Yeah the other day when we talked she thanked me a lot of times just for calling her and talking to her and she apologized for trying to push me out of her life.

Ah yeah AP classes were a pain for me in high school too. I didn’t pass my AP exams sadly, but I’m horrible when it comes exam time even though I know the information which is annoying. I’m really glad you and your boyfriend came to terms with one another after all that drama that happened over the summer. It’s really good to know he was able to put his head on straight and everything.

I completely know what you mean about it being entirely too crazy to be accidental or whatnot because everyone I talk to says it feels like a bad movie or a novel or something. Of course there’s a part of me that’s curious to see what would happen if we got back together, of course pretty much everyone in my life would never forgive me or her especially my mother, but then again I don’t want her completely out of my life because she was such an important part in my life. I guess I’m just looking forward to her getting her head on straight just so she can come back to that person I grew up to know, just as Eric did for you.

I’m really good at tests and such, actually, and I’m really good at school in general, its just that for the first time in my school career, I don’t understand a class. I’m not trying to brag, I swear. =) So I’m dealing with those insecurities and the possibility of screwing over my GPA. =/

Now that school’s started again, there’s not as much time or room in our lives for relationship troubles. I’m much more secure in my realtionship with him, and as auch, I don’t treat him like I did before. (I treat him better now, cause I’m realizing now that I wasn’t as nice as I should have been at times, and I overreacted more that I had a right too. lol)

That’s good, I’m glad you’re so mature. If not… well, I don’t want to think about what you’d be like if you weren’t so wise. =) ♥

Haha yeah I know what you mean about the grades and everything. I always did awesome in high school, but college has always given me a run for my money. I’ve always tried to do my best, but at times my best hasn’t been up to my expectations, given the fact that people keep telling me I’m possibly taking the hardest major in my university, but still I’m supposed to be good at this stuff? Lol you know what I mean?

I know what you mean about the whole being preoccupied by school to not worry about relationships I guess it’s because of how I am right now. I’m doing really well in my classes right now and I just have to focus on applying to grad schools now. I’m very glad everything is going well for you though :) it’s nice to hear good news.

Haha being mature obviously comes with age. I went through the same things as you in high school, and in all honesty I went through the same anxieties Brittany is about starting college and even about her situation. When I first started college, I really was not sure if it was Brittany that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, but when I finally met her for the first time, if you read my whole post about our first encounter and everything, I obviously just knew she was “it” and it helped me a lot and I was completely secure with myself and my relationship. The other day when we were talking she said tome “I just feel like I don’t want to even go to college anymore” and when I was going through this I felt the same things and I just told her “No, you can’t feel like that, you just can’t let it consume your life like that, you’re better than this.” I hope I got through to her, I mean she said “I know I know I can’t think this but I can’t help it” but I honestly can’t blame her because I went through the same things.

Whats your major? Engineering or something to that effect?

I’m not to start college for another 2 years, which is a good thing considering I’m a Junior, and I’m glad for that. I like High School, actually, and I’m going to be sad when I have to leave, I think. Not to sound like a creep, (lol) but I’ve read every one of your posts concerning the situation between you and her, and I remember how touching that story was to me. =)
You just need to remind her gently that you’ve been through what she’s going through and tell her what you already are. Don’t give up on her, but why am I even saying this? I know you never would. =)

Yeah pretty much, my major’s biochemistry and molecular biology, it’s like a combined major so I don’t have to have a minor haha.

I always enjoyed high school too, except for the drama that sometimes occurred. I just really liked how close I was to certain people, but moving to college you develop completely different relationships with your friends; they’re like your everything. You don’t have your parents to depend on and your friends are always there for you talk to or just to have fun with.

Haha you don’t sound like a creep I mean.. I post for people to read and respond to so that’s sort of the point lol. I’m glad you’ve read everything so you know everything that’s been going on :) About the reminding part, that’s sort of what I’m doing. We talked last night and it was.. really nice. We laughed, we cried and we just had a good discussion, haha corny huh? She’s still talking to this guy because she has questions she wants answered and I told her “that’s exactly what I was going through Brittany.” But at the same time she feels bad for him and she told him she would still like to meet him, so I think she’s still confused. I’m going to try to help her get her head on straight and then see where things go.. I won’t give up on her.. she needs someone to talk to right now and that’s what I’m giving her.

You’re such a great person, Evan. Anyone would be so lucky to have you, and I know you’ll find what you’re looking for in time…
I just thought I’d go mushy on you for a second dear, and verbalize you what everyone who’s following your story is thinking.
You’ll be successful in life, I know it, and you should too. ♥

Aw.. thank you very much Kristie.. I really appreciate that. I really hope I do find what I want/need in life right now. It’s just, there’s a lot of things on my mind and there’s one direction that right now, I’m really sort of hoping for and I’m sure it’s sort of obvious. I’m willing to get over this as long as she’s willing to realize how stupid and immature this whole situation became and she really realizes how much she loved me rather than going and saying she didn’t. I’m just letting time take it’s course, but at the same time, I’m afraid that if I don’t take enough action the opportunity for something great might slip past my fingers..

Now, babe, do consider what you’re doing before you jump back in. That’s all I’ll say to that, okay? If you think you can TRULY put this whole thing behind you in the realtionship, then go for it. But as demonstrate so clearly in my own experience, if you don’t get over it completely, it’ll came back to haunt you and cause problems. =)
But I’ll support whatever you decide to do, cause I’ve decided that you pretty much got it under control, and if you do something, you know what you’re doing.

Yeah see, that’s what’s been running through my mind this entire time. She did this to me once, and I don’t want her to do this to me again. At the same time, I can just feel in her voice how sorry she is for doing this to me because she feels how she made me feel. I’m pretty sure that I could get over this.. because I just.. love her that much I guess.. I’ve always loved her unconditionally and it’s just, realizing that I could get past this because I love her.. really proves to myself that I could love her again just the same. I just need to feel out how she feels about this whole thing, which is also why I’m still talking to her. I don’t want to outright ask her because I feel that it might not be quite right to do, I really don’t know. I wish I had it under control haha..

One thing that’s been buzzing through my head is when she told me “If we weren’t meant to be together then this wouldn’t have been happening.” But now, this happened and we’re back in each other’s lives. I think it’s just.. we were both meant to feel true heartache at some point of our human lives because we were both so happy for so long we never experienced it. Now we have and the pieces have to be picked back up and I just feel like.. maybe all this was supposed to happen for a reason. I just don’t want like I said earlier.. if something great is supposed to happen between us again I don’t want to let it slip away or have her judgement get clouded.
