Her Boyfriend Told Her That She Was “The One,” But Then He Left Her For An 18-Year-Old Girl Who Is Now Pregnant
When this 31-year-old woman first met her boyfriend, who is 35, she felt like their romance was something straight out of a rom-com.
It all began when she was the maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding; meanwhile, her boyfriend was the best man.
And after they met at the wedding, they instantly clicked– jumping into a relationship just one week after meeting.
“He was unlike any other I’ve met before. I’ve never had that feeling of finding ‘the one,’ but with him, I just somehow knew. And he had felt the same way,” she recalled.
But at the time, they did live in different states. She lived in Chicago, and her boyfriend was out in Arizona. Nonetheless, they made their relationship work, and she even had plans to move to Arizona in a few months.
Well, that was until their entire relationship came crashing down.
Two months before they broke up, her boyfriend first admitted to having a drinking problem. And she was completely supportive since she had actually struggled with the same issue in the past.
Afterward, her boyfriend went into detox and appeared to be doing much better. Every single day that he was sober, it seemed like he became more himself again. She was also extremely proud of his progress.
Then, he wound up relapsing and decided he needed to go into detox again.

“I did everything I could to show I cared. I sent care packages and gifts and made myself available any time of day or night for him,” she said.
Although, her boyfriend ended up telling her about a different patient– an 18-year-old woman– who he had met. Her boyfriend claimed that the woman reminded him of his teenage daughter, which made him feel protective over the patient.
Still, he eventually left detox again. But that second time, she immediately realized things were extremely different.
All of a sudden, her boyfriend would just ignore her for anywhere from several hours to days. Then, once she’d finally gotten in touch with him, he would just apologize and claim he was going through something.
Now, she tried to be understanding and told her boyfriend that she respected if space was needed.
“But he does need to respect me by, at the very minimum, just letting me know he’s okay,” she added.
“Normally, I’d be out the door if any guy did this to me, but I figured he really is going through someone incredibly tough, and we had true love, so we’d get through it together.”
Anyway, fast forward to their anniversary on May 18, she realized that her boyfriend started ignoring her again.
But she was supposed to fly out the following week to meet him for the celebration, and she had to know if she needed to keep the Airbnb reservation– which was her treat.
Her boyfriend knew that if she did not provide the Airbnb host with an answer by 12:00 p.m., then she would lose the reservation. Yet, he only texted her back at 2:00 p.m., saying, “Happy anniversary, baby!!!!”
At that point, she just told her boyfriend that the reservation was canceled. Still, nothing could have prepared her for his next text response.
“Okay, well, maybe we should just be friends. Don’t sweat it,” he messaged her.
Her boyfriend’s text made it seem like she was just some random woman who he barely knew– not the woman he promised to love forever.
“He pursued me. He told me I was the ‘the one’ and endless affirmations that led me to believe I could trust him and see a future together,” she revealed.
Yet, her relationship completely spiraled after the missed Airbnb reservation. She came to find out through her best friend that her boyfriend had cheated on her with the 18-year-old girl he met in detox.
Then, once he was released from detox, he had the young girl move in with him, and the girl got pregnant.
So, she detailed how her life has been an absolute roller coaster ever since. She goes from feeling heartbroken and angry to feeling immense sadness and regret.
She feels like she gave this relationship her all and was willing to sacrifice anything to make her boyfriend happy. She made him a priority.
And while everyone in her life has told her that she just dodged a bullet and her relationship ending was a good thing, she cannot help but mourn the romance they once had.
“Nobody knows the happiness I felt, how my heart always felt. Nobody really knows. We went engagement ring shopping. We were looking at houses together. We had future baby names picked out,” she vented.
“We were the best of each other’s days until we weren’t anymore.
She also knows that they could have ended their relationship amicably. For her, that would’ve lessened the heartbreak and mitigated a lot of confusion.
Still, she does not wish anything bad upon her boyfriend and claims that she actually just hopes he can find happiness that truly lasts.
How would you feel if your partner left you like that after you stood by their side throughout detox? Can you understand why the breakup still pains her, even if she did “dodge a bullet?”
