How do I survive heartbreak?
11 months ago I ran into a childhood friend of mine and we started dating shortly after. The summer went by and I left to go back to school in the midwest. I lived on the west coast at the time, but we decided to stay together. When he came to visit me I found out he had previously cheated on me with a girl I knew he was hanging out with. I forgave him, because I loved him and couldn't imagine my life with anyone else. More recently, I discovoered he lied to me once again about a girl staying at his place. No matter how many times he seems to hurt me emotionally, I still have faith that he will become a better person. He says he wants to be with me, yet he gets lonely when I'm not around. I simply do not have the same problem, I can't see myself being with anyone but him. I broke up with him because I was afraid I would be cheated on again. He calls me constantly, and wants to see me when I come home. How do I get over someone that I seem to constantly forgive? He is my first love, and I can't seem to move on, even though I know it is the right thing to do. Please help.
