If you want to share your own Love Life story, fill out this form. I immediately regretted it, so I told Dupe the next week when we started talking again.ĭupe: I was angry. I slept with someone else, one of my friends. Kuro: She doesn’t want to expose me, but I’ll expose myself. The only problem is I wasn’t aware of this at the time. But one day, I was drained and just withdrew for a few days.ĭupe: He took a break from the relationship. We talked several hours every day and hung out on our street every night. Kuro: We went through life like that for a year. How were you able to get past this need?ĭupe: Well, things went worse before they became better. Kuro gave me all the validation I sought, and I wanted to bask in it. My partner made me question my worth, so I found myself falling back on Kuro for the validation my ex always held back. Before her, I’d only ever dated one person, and it wasn’t a serious relationship.ĭupe: In my previous relationship, I second-guessed myself a lot. But I also liked being her first go-to person. Kuro: The first few months when she called to tell me every single thing happening to her was a lot to handle, I must admit. I wanted him to be there for me ALL THE TIME, and a part of me could tell it was overwhelming for him, but I couldn’t help myself. What was it like going from friendship to dating?ĭupe: It was different. You’ll know when I find another person to fill your spot.” LOL. Why are you jumping the script?”ĭupe: Me, I was like, “Stay there. I even played “hard to get” because I was like, “Wait for me to ask you first na. Kuro: I was shocked, but if I didn’t like her before, the way she called to tell me that initiated the feelings. In July, we broke up because he said his pastor told him to, and I immediately told Kuro, “Let’s be in a relationship”. My boyfriend started feeling threatened by him. But then, we started doing midnight calls, talking about nothing. This was in April 2010.ĭupe: We met up and gisted, and that was it. Once I got a decent job and received a few months’ salary, I asked for us to meet up at a popular eatery then. I wanted to hang out with her because it felt like we hadn’t really gotten to know each other yet. Kuro: I think once my eyes cleared from the whole UK relocation dream, it was easy to see that Dupe was the only person, apart from my guys and family, who was there for me and supportive. We lasted about ten months before we broke up in 2010. I liked him so much that I let him get away with too much. We didn’t even see each other again until almost a year after we met, but we were always texting on 2go and BBM.ĭupe: Three months after we met, I agreed to date this other guy. She was one of the reasons I got over the disappointment and picked my life back up. He even started avoiding the whole family because of a promise no one forced him to make.ĭupe: Now that I know him well, I can’t believe he pretends like none of this ever happened.ĭupe and I got close during this trying period. That one too came, and this uncle suddenly became scarce. It was painful, but I deferred from the September intake to January.
I’d even spent money on a UK visa application by then. Kuro: The uncle who promised to sponsor me suddenly started posting me until I missed my resumption window. But I didn’t ask her out because I was sure I’d relocate soon for school.
Kuro: Anyway, we exchanged numbers before parting ways. We later found out our parents even knew themselves from living in the same area for so long. I don’t think anyone said “hi” first we just started talking about something we noticed, and that was it.ĭupe: It turned out that we both lived off the same street. We were both delayed for so long that we struck up a conversation. She was there to get her younger brother who was busy playing PlayStation 2 with his friends. I went there to put together my master’s application documents. Kuro: We met by chance at a cyber café in 2009. Love Life: We Cheated, and We Moved Past It How did you meet?
