Hindsight Doesn't Heal A Broken Heart

We all think we're exceptions to the rules, don't we? I'm 17 and thought I was different when I started going out with a 27 year old across the country. Less than a week later and he's found someone he wants more than me. A friend of mine before they met, no less. Whom I introduced him to. Also someone he met online, not living in his state. Granted with much less age difference, 2 years to be precise. And that he's known for at most, a few days.

I know I'm stupid. I like to think I was still more mature than others in my situation. But I still fell for it. I still thought he really felt different about me than about other people. I think I'm already realizing what was going on in his head, that he's just bouncing from good feeling to the next, since everything else in his life is less than stellar. But that could be the digust and betrayal I feel influencing my thoughts. It hurts that he didn't care about me as much as someone he'd known for a lot shorter of time.

The worst part may be that I lost my safe place. The new guy he's dating is the owner of the group I spend most my time on on the internet. I have so many friends there. But I can't stand even seeing their names right now. I feel extremely isolated. I have real life friends that I'm talking to but they're not the same people. Besides, before this those two were the first I'd go to if I had problems. So many things were ripped away from me at once. I know it's all very petty, but if being aware of something made the emotion go away, I would have waaaay fewer problems.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read and reply to me.
