Ugh,

So I'm having just a horrible, awful time. Long story short:

I met and started going out with a girl that was much older than me almost 2 years ago, I was 20/21. We had this great relationship at first, tons of love and affection. And then it went downhill slowly, until it was the opposite of what it was in the beginning. We couldn't take each other, so finally last night I left/got kicked out.

I wasn't able to change any of my behaviors for some reason the entire time I've known here. The situation was that I lived at her house and was supposed to take care of it for room and board, and just be a good friend to her as much as I could. I struggled with my inability to change and be a good person to her. I don't know if it is because I was angry because our relationship ended or what, but I was never able to change in that environment as much as I tried to will myself to do it so that it would benefit my life, and that I could treat her better, which she deserved.

So right now I'm out of there, she says we won't, but I'm sure I'll see her again at some point. I'm really dedicated to developing and changing myself and really using this as an opportunity to put the past behind me and have a fresh start to change, be the person I have tried and truly want to be, and really dedicate this entire experience to benefit me instead of sulking in a deep depression about it.

She's someone that never deserved to be treated the way I treated her (it never got physical or anything). But I know that she tried, and did help me out a lot. She was ridiculously intelligent, emotionally intelligent, and the whole situation is just really disheartening.

So I'm just asking any of you guys if you have any advice for me or can leave some type of quote or some positive message for me to read. I'm just having a horrible time going through this, I haven't ever really gone through something like this. I was around her nearly every day for 2 years, and even though I would hardly talk to her a lot of the time, I honestly cared for her even though I didn't change any of my behaviors to make her feel better or benefit myself, I still truly cared, and still do care for her deeply.

I've been in a really negative place for quite some time, if anyone can help bring any sort of positivity - even saying it's going to be ok - I would be really grateful. Thanks guys.

SS

      I think that we have all been in similar situations at some time or another and it sucks. But believe me you will get through it so have faith. I don't want to sound patronising but you are young and have time on your side and time heals. In the interim try to get out more and meet people even if you have to force yourself.

      No matter what has happened there is still a great future out there and you will find that you will get stronger every day so start making your plans now to go out and grab your share of it.

      Good luck.

      Never live with a woman unless you are married or have the wedding already planned. Never. Trust me on this. This is an Iron Rule.

      You're young, and women these days are pretty easy. You'll have no problems finding a new one. Play the field and don't be in such a hurry to jump into "serious" relationships until your late 20's, early 30s. You have a long life ahead, and there are many different types of women to met. Date and have fun and find out who you really are and what you really like.

      Stay busy to keep it off your mind, hit the gym and hang with your friends. Do fun stuff. Keep your head up!
