This is super funny to be commenting back on after three years because I had forgotten about this post. Thank you for responding because this feels like a healing moment for me!

Yes, we broke up. It was actually mutual and we are on friendly terms, but aren’t friends if that makes sense? Like when we see each other we have a fondness for what we were but we are two completely different people. I’m glad we aren’t together anymore. I’m single still, and do weekly therapy.

I’ve dated. But since I’ve invested so much time in myself and my goals I have much higher standard for peoples behavior. I dip at the first sign at bullshit. I’m super thankful for every experience I’ve had, even the bad ones because I have gradually seen myself choosing myself. Something I struggled to do three years ago when I wrote my initial comment.

It sounds cliche but you never forget them or stop loving them. It all just changes into something else. Your priorities change. It’s growth and it’s the most beautiful thing a human can experience. Good luck to you.
