I'm sorry, but I have to share my story as well. The holiday's use to get me down as well. My ex and I started dating my senoir year in high school. We were "head over hills" in love with each other. Then he went to Famu, and I stayed at home in the "Chi" and went to Rooselvelt. A lot of my friends were kind of "erie" about him attending a predominantly Black school, but I knew that NOTHING would ever break us up (At least I thought nothing would) At any rate, our last Christmas together, he explained how he could not afford to buy my anything for Christmas and that money was tight!! I COMPLETLEY understood, and told him that the love that we shared was good enough for me. Well After spending HUNDREDS of Dollars on him at Christmas time, I later found out that he did have money. How did I know? Well a couple of days b4 Christmas I was heading to work and I got "stuck" up at gun point by this drug addict pervert!! I was SO SCARED I didn't know what to do. At any rate, my boyfriend only lived a couple of blocks away and called my job and told them that wouldn't be coming in due to my situation. Then he took me out to "brunch" to get my mind off of the situation. Everything was fine, until we stopped in this store and he purchased this beautiful Ballerina music box for this girl that went to FAMU with him. And he had the NERVE to ask me if I thought she would like it!! (Did I mention that I didn't get a DAMN thing for Christmas from him!!!???) I was in too much PAIN, AGONY, and Confusion to answer. I later broke up with him on New Years EVE. I wanted to start the New Years off right. This happend over 3 1/2 yrs ago. By the way did I mention that He is engaged to her as we speak and that they are getting married next year???
Well I shouldn't be surprised!! Well Luckily God has sent me someone special in my life, and we are going strong!!!
Sorry for the long post!!!
