So I'm 23 and working at a shitty MCD in town. Of course along comes a peppy nerdy 16 year old who I start talking to as friends and quite honestly just as that. It didn't even occur to me to pursue her, maybe because i had been through a dumb break up a few months prior but none the less I talk to her. We of course grow close and spend a lot of time hanging out, well as much as anyone could with that age gap.
Then I start catching vibes from her that throw me off and put me on the track of thinking about her romantically. Walls dissolve and I give into it and surprisingly its really nice and relatively wholesome.
Eventually her parents know and friends know and work knows and our tiny little town knows. But only when she's 17. Well this relationship lasts past her 18th and with her parents moving it makes sense for her to move in and it happens. AND its fucking nice, I've lived with partners before and this felt natural and easy. Sure petty disagreements came in but no serious arguments. We want the same things. She eventually gets a job at a factory out of town and gets me hired. Im too poor to have a car and my license has long since expired so I take her up on it.
We spend new years in Chicago, plan on moving to bigger cities, a nice valentines day with movie/dinner date..... then one month she gets slightly distant. Then the next she's utterly depressed.
I dont know what to do other than try and help her through it the best I can. I pay more attention to her, baby her a little, help her keep her life on track. Then she tells me she lied about where she was one weekend. Says she went to some guys house named Jason because she met him in high school and didnt want me to think anything of it or get jealous. Im pissed because the lie is what bothers me.
Then she dumps me. And over the course of the next month (me finding out on my own of course) that she had started talking to a guy named Josiah and developed feelings for him
