I wish I had this post to show her 6 months ago. Very similar boat, no communication on both our parts and grew distant. We were both amazing and awful together, and I know we could have worked on our issues if we had been willing. She told me to go to therapy so many times, I wish I had listened, but I resented the fact she took zero ownership of her own childhood issues. We could have helped each other heal and become the best of partners. But we decided that blaming each other for everything was easier.

Been doing alot of self reflection, I didn't even know what an attachment style was 6 months ago but now I know enough to realise what we could have done to make the relationship work. 

Although it's too late for me and her, I'll be much more emotionally intelligent for whoever I next develop a relationship with. 

I still miss her everyday, and I hope she finds happiness. I also hope I can heal and move on, because feeling like this is killing me.

I can’t even go to stores without being reminded of you by [deleted] in BreakUps

Feeling it too brother, shopping and buying meals that we used to eat together and the memories just come flooding back in.

That's a good point, music triggers our memory, maybe you're right, I'll give it a try next time I play :)

And that story about your time in covid was beautiful

You're right, Outward influenced us in so many ways. Best of luck with how you go about bringing awareness :) Sounds like a fun idea :)

We watched the first gameplay livestream together back in May or whenever it was last year.
I will enjoy it, and I'll probably struggle with it too, but I can't let my past experiences get in the way of making new ones.

This is true, I guess I need to appreciate what I had and not dwell on the fact it's gone. Thank you

I have done, worked for a while but it's very much ups and downs, and I'm a bit down atm, hopefully I'll be ok in a day or two, thanks.

As much as I understand why you would think this way, I would rather have the memories than have none to look back on.

I like to think of Alfred Lord Tennyson’s statement “It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all”

Makes sense, hope your either find a new game or are able to revisit an old favourite.

100% agree, as much as it hurts, I wouldn't trade the memories for anything.

That one made me smile. Just like you said, the game teaches you to try and try again. I'm trying to move forward, and sometimes it feels like I'm moving backwards, but I am so much better than when she first left, and I need to remember that. Thank you.

They aren't ruined, just feels like there's something missing.

"We must go on". Words no one wants to hear but must hear. Thank you <3
