The Aber Affair

Back in October 2009, almost 2 months after first moving to Aber, I started seeing this guy a lot (for the purposes of anonymity we'll call him Dew), he'd walk me to lectures, seminars, to the library and I'd do the same for him, then it became things like going shopping, to the cinema, to the beach and eventually we just ended up spending a lot of time in each others rooms, not alone obviously that'd be weird. We were getting closer and closer and then we finally did something affectionate, we hugged - gotta start somewhere. It was Friday 6 November and we got together to watch Twilight, I just got it on blu-ray and as my first blu-ray I wanted to see how it would compare. So we're both sat on the bed when he puts his arm around me and I lean in closer, resting beside him. I was so happy in that moment, not just because it finally seemed we were going somewhere (relationship-wise) but because as it turns out blu-rays are really good!

We'd been bf & bf for about a week now when my birthday came up, Thursday 12 November, and I had planned to go out Friday night to 'celebrate' me turning 19 with some friends but Dew said he wouldn't be able to make it because he was going home for the weekend. It'd been planned a while so I didn't mind, I was a little upset but he had taken me out for dinner on the 12th. Unfortunately, Saturday I drank a little too much, too quickly before even going out so I was sick but my friends and I still went up to Yr Undeb (the student union). I drank a bit more but was starting to feel sick again so I left early around 1 while my friends stayed on. So I got back and Dew was on msn, he asked how my night had been so I told him and he said "awww, hold on a min, i'll ring you now" We talked a bit more about what I got up to and how he was back at home then he tells me we need to stop seeing each other. It was so unexpected I thought perhaps it was a joke. He told me there was something going on that I shouldn't concern myself over but that that something meant we couldn't be together. 

Basically I found a guy I really like who dumped me shortly after my birthday for an unknown reason. Great. I would soon discover the reason though.
