I broke up with him on Valentines after he cheated on me ... We was 12.
This is the month of love, doesn't matter if you are single, it's still a time for you and your other single girls to get together and do something. Don't fall into that thinking that it's only a couples day. Case in point, I've been in two relationships where the guy didn't believe in Valentines day, therefore, just another day for me with a boyfriend.
While on Twitter this morning I saw Jamie London Boy tweeting about cheaters. I had to put my two cents in ( I sent another tweet saying, I was 12 before he replied ) : -
My very first boyfriend Daniel was a childhood best friend of my now best friend Darrel and I thought Daniel was the best looking boy since I discovered a kaleidoscope. As 12 year old's do, their friends go ask the boy, would you go out with so//so this was no different. He took me to the Youth Club Valentines Day dance ... well we walked together got their and dispersed into our cliques.
The following Monday was Valentines day, what day? To me that meant nothing and Naomi ( girl in my class ) knew that and had made me a card for him using those airbrush design kits and that was my gift to him, his to me was a card, box of roses and quality street. Sweet and it seemed he was excited for Valentines.
During break his friends told me, he had cheated on me down the park with another girl, so what do I do? March into the cafeteria and break up with him in front of a room load of people. Drama queen yes, did he deserve it, hell yes. In Spanish I gave the chocolates to the class and when I returned home, burnt his card because throwing it away wasn't good enough. *cues Usher, Burn*
He cried, had his friend call me to take him back. Had my friends call me to try change my mind but even then, I didn't want to get into this pattern of taking back a cheater. 12 years old, young and it's not serious but to me, I am serious and didn't feel I deserved someone like that. His cheating actions were mature, what he did whilst cheating was beyond a 12 year olds mind.
We've spoken since, a few years ago on Facebook. We bonded over our loves for tattoos and he said it was good what I was now doing (ref this blog). Since then he's had a baby and been in prison, that jailbird broke my 12 year old heart but he's remembered because as much as I crushed on him and wanted him, a cheater I cannot abide at any age.
