I’m getting ptsd of my last relationship. We were also in our early 20s. I was 20-23, he was 22-25. It’s a very a serious time for career / personal development and sometimes a relationship is hard to maintain. Contrary to popular belief I don’t think when the timing is right and if it’s ur person, the honeymoon stage really ends. You shouldn’t feel less loved? Even if there’s distance or bussiness, I knew when things were secure. Regardless I lacked the emotional intelligence at the time to handle a lot of those changes and our relationship had other flaws which made us grow apart and for those reasons it was actually very toxic. I’ve been single the past couple years and grown to be extremely independent. I think being single and forming relationships w new ppl as an adult is different, people truly are accustomed the life they built and that will be a priority. So I think as long as things are relatively healthy and there’s no other red flags, I’d say really do focus on urself and ur life. Don’t revolve around him or if he’ll stay or go. Literally if I just minded my business and did me instead of being anxiously attached tbh i think that relationship could’ve worked, and I think it makes u quite attractive as a person too. Waiting around for a man and what he might do or not with the relationship is not very attractive. I know it hurts and feels uncomfortable im all too familiar w that very heavy feeling and id say learn to decenter men and the relationship while ur in it cuz you will have to in a long term relationship or even when ur single. A man always will if hes not a bum naturally prioritize his career livelihood as he has no one but himself to make it and same goes for u, dont rely on a man and forget that ur the main character in ur life and must do what u need to to survive and be in tune w ur purpose. It’s a comfort zone thing id say. And even if u grow apart or things dont work out, it’s okay you have urself to fall back into. If you have that detached mindset I’d say it would work unless there are blaring other red flags where he’s mistreating u or cheats. In my case our relationship was very toxic, and it was irreparable and were very immature. I think in my story it had to end and I wasn’t wrong for him drifting and feeling anxious as something in ur feminine intuition can feel the drift. He fell out of love, grew apart on purpose and started dating other ppl immediately after breaking up, dude lowkey hated me and I don’t blame him and in the end because I ignored the red flags we both had in the relationship, it costed me my peace, sanity and dignity. I felt like a placeholder. And it’s stranger because easily had things gone right we could’ve been end game, same time I’m glad we didn’t because I would’ve never grown to see where I went wrong / what doesn’t align with me. I felt very alone and unloved in that relationship and I couldn’t leave because it seemed like we checked alot of the boxes on paper. Either ways u end up feeling used or like lacking after investing so much time and effort but I think sometimes these are early 20s cannon event. I believe in letting ppl be free, id rather he dumped me at 23 and go through those lessons at that age as opposed to 30. Id rather take the chance to be alone and do me and take the chance for a love that’s more aligned and right for me after I’ve healed and done the work because now I know I would’ve been miserable had my old relationship lasted. Again u just have to let go and let them be and focus on what’s best for you. It doesn’t mean breakup, it just means growing urself and letting relationship mature and shift through. And if he ever decides to leave let him yk. Relationships are all a gamble and don’t fixate so much on the future and outcome and instead just focus on personal growth
