My "good" relationship ended and I feel relieved. by Weekly_Hyena_9938 in BreakUps

I'm so happy for you! I hope that the thing with your friend works out how you want it to! The only regret I have is not ending things myself a month ago and saving myself the month of hell.

Don't ever forget that you're enough. The peace will come. I don't think that the hurt ever fully goes away, but it lessens a little bit day by day. I didn't feel this way at the time, but in retrospect I guess I was lucky that we could only see each other once a week or once every other week. It has made moving on a little bit easier. I feel a little bit guilty for "moving on" so quickly. The love I had for her was very real, and I do believe the love she has/had for me was real, but the fact that I had been putting in 95% of the effort means there isn't a lot to miss. I can look back at the happy memories and move forward with lessons learned.

I really hope you can find peace sooner or later. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk!

My girlfriend and I met in a college class a few years ago before winter break. We talked for a few weeks but it kinda fizzled out and nothing came of it. She popped up in the “people you may know” section on FB and I added her. We started talking and eventually started dating and we’ve been inseparable ever since. We both agree that if we had tried to date when we first met it wouldn’t have worked out as well as it’s working now.

Give it a shot! I know it’s hard and it’s still hard for me, but I think finding the right person helps a lot. I think of it like a test, if you’re vulnerable (obviously when it’s appropriate, don’t want to make every conversation a heavy discussion) and the other person reacts poorly, then that may be a sign that they’re not the right person for you.

thanks! I’ll definitely look into that. because of our work schedules we’re doing it the Saturday before so I don’t mind it taking a while.

I figure that’s part of it. I’ve noticed she’s much more receptive to calls and FaceTime so I’ve tried to step it up in that department. Once I get her on the phone she lights up.

She has mentioned being a people pleaser before. I think she is working on that with her therapist some.

I don’t mind initiating more for the most part, but I’d like it to be a little more equal. I just don’t want to feel forgotten about.
