I was in a committed relationship for a little over 5 years. I got involved after i graduated highschool. I obviously still talk about this because its been the most impactful but rest assured I am completely over her…(i think) Moreover, I still have those long days i reflect upon the relationship(good and bad) and wished i had not gotten involved especially while we were so young and under-developed. I loved and enjoyed our every single moment together and was completely blindsided when she ended it upruptly because i was on the side that wanted to work out things until the end despite her perspective and experience within the relationship.
The pain that followed her break up proposal after 5years of being together felt like the pain of a heart being pulled out of me. Though it hurt, restraint from the chase driven by the feeling of rejection was the best option, though reluctantly opted for. Its been the difference maker because the time spent apart learning and growing to become a whole person surpasses the same mistakes we would have made had we gotten right back. Thanks for sharing!
