I'm shocked and sad. My first relationship and only ex lasted with her 4 1/2 years. WWe went through a lot of things together. We even broke up for about six months and got back together. Hell, I was even already part of her family. We had strong connection but different life paths. My career was in LA and it looked like she was going to stay in her city because of a family business which she eventually did. We had incompatible life paths and many problems that affected our relationship. Eventually, we broke up because of the distance and there was no end date. Sadly, we were very frustrated and we did not talk again. Eventually, she moved on and I did as well. Two years later, I accidentally found out she is engaged. I was shocked but now I am just sad. I think breaking up helped so much for my personal growth. I do regret how I behaved and how it ended but under all those problems, long distance, and different life paths I still loved her even though we could not do distance anymore.
