EXACTY what I told her! She admitted that she ****** up but won't take me back because she's now dating some girl stealing turd and doesn't want to "hurt" him...

It's not your fault that you're working harder to make yours and her (well, not anymore) life better in the future.

its her loss OP. once this other bloke has had enough of her she'll realise what she's lost.

The saddest thing about this whole mess is that you were doing all this partially for HER benefit, thinking and planning ahead to your future together. But the ray of sunshine here is that now you're free to find a more mature, communicative, APPRECIATIVE woman, who will know a keeper when she sees one.

Part of it is your fault?? I don't see how any part of it is your fault. Work is a part of life, and communication is a must in relationships. If she couldn't talk to you about it upsetting her that's on her and her alone.

It's not your fault. She's a bitch for breaking up with you through text. She should have broken up with you when she realized she liked someone else anyways, let alone cheat on you.

Buy yourself something with that hard earned money you've made

Don't go back! Geez could you imagine if you got a place and suddenly had to work a lot of hours? What would she of done? Moved someone else in? You deserve better!

Why would you want her back? She started dating someone without telling you! She decided it was better to cheat and let you know in the worst way possible. I know you probably still care for her and have thought of a thousand ways to fix this and make it better - but she only thought of ONE way to fix the problem. Do you really think she can be trusted not to do it again. Get your work stuff sorted out, keep saving money and move on. You can do better.

Fight him... If it was my girl, I'd fight for her and put the bastard in a hospital

He doesn't have time to fight. He's working too much.

I hope he treats her badly.

Fighting the guy would be stupid. Op, it might hurt but is this the only reason you dislike him? Did he know about the relationship? Or did she tell him it was over? She's the one that did it, don't misplace blame if he was oblivious.

If someone cheats on you, they do not love you, remember that. If someone cheats on you, they do not care about you as much as they say they do. If someone cheats on you, it means that for a split second you were off their mind long enough for them to put their arms around another person, arms that should only be for you. If someone cheats on you, I hope you don't go back to them because you are worth so much more.

Sounds pretty typical of teenage drama.

I'm sorry your girlfriend was stolen from you, I really am that is truly painful and really sucks, but you know what YOU'RE 16, life will go on. You have plenty of time to meet someone new and better because if that girl is willing to cheat on you while you work two jobs for her then she's kinda horrible and doesn't deserve you, if she was concerned about your relationship she should have talked to you about it and gotten the whole situation. Instead of hurting you like that, and I'm sorry. But still 16 come on man you've got your whole life ahead of you! You don't have to move in with the first girl you date, your way too young to be thinking that long term. How do I know this because I'm 17 and I'm way too young too. So relax have fun be casual don't work two jobs unless you have to. And don't worry about moving in with a girl unless you have to. Be yourself and be young.

His girlfriend wasn't "stolen". She's not a bike you can just take. She's a person who made the decision to leave him - In a very immature way, but still. And I don't think the other guy is to blame. If she didn't talk to OP about her new relationship, does anyone think she told the new guy about OP? She is responsible for her relationship, not him.

sounds to me like you've dodged a bullet and now you've got some extra cash. It hurts now but it's probably for the best. she sounds like she doesn't care that much about you. especially if she's concerned about "hurting his feelings" but didn't care about yours.

In all fairness you are only 17, while that was a bitch move from her, but there will be many other girls and I wouldn't stress too much about losing someone so shallow.
