I called it quits with my boyfriend today on a video call. It had been brewing for a while, and the breakup was very amicable. Instead of feeling angry or sad, I actually feel fresh and excited. I think it’s because we got into the relationship very quickly, and I never really got the chance to explore or “play the field.”
My first? Deeply hurt, confused, betrayed, bewildered, etc. It kicked off a delightful bout of depression that lasted almost a year and only ended because I had bigger things to worry about.
