Hi this is my first time posting one of these so please be patient. I’m 16F and my boyfriend who we’re gonna call Chris is 18M. We’ve been together for around 6 months now and I genuinely believe he’s the love of my life he helped me out of a dark hole because before I met him I was in a relationship purely just based on lust when I just wanted to be loved. So me and him support each other through our low points. Okay enough background let’s get into the “prank” so I way back while at a sleepover discovered this app that’s very similar to tinder but it’s marketed to teens to make friends. So as any teen does I’m on there trolling with my friends I forget about the app until around April when I’m bored so I open my messages to men in my DM’s and I reply my intentions back then were not straight and it was terrible and evil of me but my goal was to lead these men on and just get laughs out of their thirsty comments and I’d play along and send screenshots to my friends and we’d pass my phone around the lunch table sending texts whatever. So I’m talking to this guy we’re gonna call Arthur he was weird but like a kinda cool weird and he remembered little details about me and let me talk about stuff I liked and it was surreal cause that kinda never happened with my bf Chris. It’s evil of me but I kinda was pretending Arthur was my boyfriend I had zero feelings for Arthur and I didn’t want to hurt Chris. Me and Arthur would chat every so often back and forth on the app like a quick few chats were exchanged then nothing for days or weeks up until maybe a week ago. I was bored once more and I was like “Hey Arthur ur cool do you have discord?” And we started talking more on there and unfortunately I was still keeping the bit up that I was interested in him and later that night I’m like “Damn, this is fucking evil like imagine if I was him” and I just blocked Arthur and opened my notes app making a rough draft on how I was going to tell Chris about all this because at the end of the day he’s the one I want and is the love of my life. Well, the next morning I wake up and my mothers in my room showing me instagram DM’s she got from MY BOYFRIEND saying how Arthur sent him all the screenshots of our messages and he’s so upset and wants to break up. I had never felt so scared in my life for the first time I felt my blood run cold. My boyfriend and all of our mutual friends had blocked me on every social media app so I had zero chance to explain myself. One of his close friends I tried to talk to just kept throwing insult after insult at me and wouldn’t hear me out. All of our mutual friends have blocked me so I have no one really to reach out to I tried texting him multiple times, but I’ve been left undelivered I made a burner account to text him, and he still won’t answer. I’m one of those loser girls that her boyfriends‘s her best friend so I don’t really know who else to turn to in this situation. I’ve lost all motivation. I do the bare minimum and then I go back to sleep. My boyfriend has just had me stuck in this purgatory of waiting and I don’t know what to do. but as well in this time of breakup, I realized I’ve been viewing him with such rose colored glasses. Every date we went on in the six months we’ve been together I’ve paid for. He’s never gotten me a gift not for Valentine’s Day not for our anniversary nothing at all when he asked me to be his prom date. He asked me with a guitar pic. I don’t play guitar he does. I’m grateful he did that for me, but I wanted something more ‘me’ than ‘him’ We’re a long distance couple and he makes no effort to come up to see me. It’s always me driving all the way to a different state to go see him. It’s me paying for hotels. It’s me paying for gas and door dashing him food some nights He didn’t even eat unless I bought him food. By the way, I like to mention this man has a job like he has a full part-time job he could be buying at least McDonald’s for himself!! I bought him everything he asked me for I was so gullible. As well, I kind of mentioned earlier I never got to talk about any of my interests because he’s a musician as I’ve previously mentioned and when we first started dating, he told me Music and his music career will always come before me. and he never really lets me talk about my own interests and multiple of his friends have pointed that out. Despite all these factors, I still want a relationship with him he’s a good guy. Trust me I could go on and on about his good qualities, but for the sake of time, I just talked about the bad, please please please give me advice here on what I should do moving forward. I’m really desperate. Thank you so much for your time !! <3
