What was the story of your last break up?

Still confused about whether or not it counts as a breakup, but here goes.

We had been sleeping together for about six months. He was interested in me before that for much longer, took me ages to see something in him. For four months of that (I learned later), he was expecting it to build into a relationship. I expected nothing of the sort — I thought it was just sex. I mean, we didn't hang out with each other's friends together (even though I knew his and he knew mine), we never talked feelings, it was very bro-y. Then his birthday party came around and I panicked a little. I didn't know how to act, since I wasn't sure what we were, so I basically avoided him. (He was super drunk when I got there, so that also helped.) Avoiding him = standing outside with the smoking crew a lot = making new friends, and one of his dude friends asked me if I wanted to hang out sometime. I was having a good time with him and said yes, not even considering that he meant it as a date. It was a date.

When my guy found out, he didn't say anything to me, or to his friend. He just assumed I was moving on and was cool with it. (He is the most laid back human.) So he moved on, started dating someone else the next week. I went on my accidental date with friend, it was horrible and stupid, but he mentioned my guy had said it was okay and I basically slept with friend out of spite/hurt. So many bad decisions.

I missed my guy immediately, and told him as much. We started sleeping together again. It was suddenly a whole different beast. I wanted him bad. I craved him. I grew feelings. But... all that time he was still dating the new girl. Part of me doubted my new feelings, thought maybe they were just due to competition (now that he wasn't mine all mine). But they persisted.

Exploded on the weekend. He invited new girl to an event I was also going to, and I refused to be in the same place and made him choose. He chose her. I was gutted.

So that is the story of me fucking up what was a potentially a great thing with a slow-burner of a wonderful man.
