Expert: Ryan Date: 7/21/2008 Subject: Breakup problems
Question I'm a 13 year old female with a problem. My life is starting to resemble Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. My (now ex)boyfriend and I went out for a month, and then my dad found out. He was mad that I went behind his back, but allowed us to continue dating. He wanted to meet my (now ex)boyfriend, so he took us to the movies. My dad sat a few rows away from us, and my (now ex)boyfriend gave me my first kiss. We then began to make out, and then french kissed. We kissed the whole movie, in the car on the way back to his house, and on his front porch. My dad said nothing about it, even though I know he saw. A few days later, I got in trouble, so my dad made me break up with my (now ex)boyfriend. I was SUPER depressed, and couldn't eat anything for 4 days. I'm moving on, but everything still hurts. I miss him tremendously, and I still love him. School starts soon, and I don't know how I will be able to manage seeing him again. His friends have told me that he still loves me, but I haven't talked to my ex since that night at the movies. Can you please help me move on, and tell me how to deal with seeing him again? Thanks.
Answer Becca,
Breaking-up is NEVER easy, and under these circumstances, it's even harder.
First, try talking to your dad. Tell him how you're feeling, and that he meant so much to you.
As for dealing with the split, it's going to take time. When you see him, it wouldn't hurt to talk to him alone, and tell him how you're feeling, and that you're sorry how things turned out. Keep the lines with him open, you never know what can happen.
