My ex cheated on me and got engaged to a marine
Heres the story:
Me and my ex went out for 9 months. We went on a break during August, because of problems resorting from distance. During that break, we both said that we would let things cool down but then get back together once school starts. By the way, me and her are both 20 years old. But during that break, she started to see some Marine from SoCal. Camp Pendelton. They met through this online forum, offtopic.com. Anyways, she never told me this and denied everything that i suspected was wrong.
Jump to September when school started. Before we broke up, we planned on living together. You guessed, it we're still living together. During that time i was still sleeping with her. And this went on till now. Last week she flew down to see that Marine guy and to go to the Marine Ball. On Friday, that guy proposed to her and she accepted, and on Sunday she got her parent's blessing.
All of this, i just found out 2 hours ago. Seeing that it is already 5am, i dont think ill be getting any sleep.
Haha, isnt it great? The first girl i loved, broke up wiht me, cheated, and got engaged. Isnt life grand?
And keep in mind, we are both 20 years old and we still go to College.

ah cheer up. You are only 20 years old. It happens to everyone. Pick yourself, get over it and move on. Go do "GUY" stuff. I didn't find my "one" til I was 26 and I had plenty of years needlessly worrying/whining/whatever.
Remember that you have time on your side, and plenty of it, most likely a full head of hair, and a slew of single girls to choose from. When you are 30 and married, you will wish that you were 20 and single again.
Don't let it get to you because your life is going to go on regardless if you feel like $hit or not, so you may as well not let it affect you, because drowning in your sorrows will not accomplish anything. Maybe that is an insensitive way to look at it, but when you look back 5 years from now, you WILL look at it the same way. So start living now.

LOL, sorry. Dude you're 20, don't worry about it. If you were nice to her, she will be back. Similar thing happened to me, I didn't eat for a week I was so upset. This was about 5 years ago, and wouldn't you know it, a year later, constant phone calls, crying, etc.
You have to be optimistic about it that if she's going to pull this crap on you, that you wouldn't have wanted her anyway. You would have been unhappy in the long run because if she's that type, she would have pulled the same crap on you down the road.
Be happy it happened now and not a few years from now. You can get on with your life and think about what you're going to say when she comes crawling back to you. (They even crawl back to you after they get married)
