Default Straight talk.

Ok, I can tell you're young. It hurts like hell being dumped. If you date, it will happen. You'll never know why he dumped you; he may not even know himself.

There's nothing I can say to make you feel better. It's going to hurt, and there's no way around it.

1. Don't assume you did anything wrong. Attraction is very complex, and he may have just wanted someone else. Maybe just someone new. There's no way to stop someone when he's made his mind up to leave or cheat.

2. Count your blessings that this happened now, instead of five years from now when you're alone trying to raise three kids with them crying for their daddy and wondering when the house will get repossessed.

I know you're hurting. There's no pain like your first love. Just know, we've all been there. It does get better.
