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.”
Oh, awful. We dated for several years. He moved across the country on short notice. Just let me know one day after work he was moving back to his moms. I felt that abandonment for multiple years. But inadvertently ended up with several degrees and a nice job because I didn’t stay with him and continue doing whatever I could to be next to him like a puppy. Now I realize relationships aren’t everything. To be honest he didn’t deserve my love and it’s sickening that I’ve never liked anyone nearly as much even decades later.
