Damn Dom, I’m sorry.
Breakups are hard. Went through a massive one myself last year.
All I can say is keep moving forward because it will get better.
Aww dammit, sorry man.
Breakups can leave just as much if not more of an negative impact as a bereavement.
When you enter a relationship you merge the threads of your individual lives into a single cloth. If that has to come to an end it’s better, where possible to carefully unpick the stitches.
All the cliches about being torn up, ripped to bits, falling to pieces, they don’t come from nowhere. It’s all real human stuff.
Thanks guys. This helped me more the other day than I thought it would. It’s rare that I’m a slave to my emotions but this has been tough.
The real pain of it is that we were a great pair. She didn’t break up with me because we were having arguments or we didn’t get along anymore or she became bored or found someone else or whatever it is that usually ends things. No, she was still very much into me. It’s just, it had become long distance (well it had been for awhile but had just recently become a distance at which it would be very hard to see each other) and was to remain long distance indefinitely, which was just scary for her and she couldn’t handle it. So I don’t know in some ways this has been harder to come to grips with.
I’m feeling a bit better now. I’ve decided that even though I might not be able to (or want to) get over it I can get used to it (and I’ll have to). The hard part is the despair. It’s just very hard to see a scenario in which we can get back together. I’ve always been an optimist so coming to terms with this fact is a real bitch. And I know I know there are more fish in the sea and blah blah and I know I’m a pretty young guy who doesn’t know much but I’ve never met a girl who’s made as much sense to me as her.
Thoughts are with your father Warb and with you Mike.
