not so good memories

I've been spending a lot of time lately with my old friend. She's going through pretty rough times, the first serious break-up. The first real boyfriend and breaking up is always hard, brings me back to my own memories. I was together with this boy over a year, and the last month of that was the time how long our break-up took. It's hard when you know it's the best decision, but the other one can't let go. He threatened me by killing himself, I got phone calls in the middle of the night, felt like a nightmare. No more details of that, but it was the worst possible break-up you can imagine. After that it was hard too, because he had turned a lot of people against me by telling lies. I was so tired, I never corrected them, I didn't care anymore. After all I was finally free. At the time I was sure there was no escape, no way getting out of it, but I survived.

Do you have any similar stories?
