I think it’s interesting how completely devastated I have felt about certain men in my life, when a week later I think about it and am almost entirely apathetic.

Last winter, there was a man at my university that I grew very close to, and we finally got together one weekend and began a relationship.  Two days later, he told me that he wasn’t in a place in his life where he could be in that relationship (but in a caring and sincere and honestly sad about it way, not a douchebaggy this is an excuse way).  I was absolutely crushed, and spent the next several days in tears and nearly unable to function.

And then like a week later I met a different guy and was over it completely.

Why do we do this?  Is it just a release for other pent up emotions?  Or am I alone in this?
