we might call it off...really long sorry im just sad...UPDATE
Original post by eddies girl
ok quick background--its going to be nine yrs in two weeks and in those nine yrs we broke up twice-we both did it once and both times it was for about 5 months and we both were with another person--so we started dating in 98 and i broke up with him in 03 and then he broke up with me in 05..we got back together and 6 months later we were engaged and everything was wonderful at first but for the past i guess 3 or 4 months or so we have not been very good...for starters he lives upstate and has since we broke up in 05 bc he was living here bc his parents bought a house and he didnt want to move up there..so i only see him sat night till monday..so our problem is that we dont talk--like we dont have fun and we dont have anything to say anymore so when we talk durin the week its like 5 min conversations and its just like how was ur day blah blah...i thought that ur bf/fh/whatever should bring out the best in you but i dont think we do that for each other...so today we were talking about us because we also talked about this two weeks ago and we said we would see what happens and we basically are going to talk when i see him next time but i dont think we are going to make it...theres so many things about each other that we both dont like that we realize are never going to change and he said he thinks that we just grew up into different people and hes like are you honestly sad about this and i said no and hes like im not either...of course we are both sad but i think we both kinda knew that this wasnt going to last and i think that when we got back together last time we thought ok we are going to get engaged and thats it but every reason we broke up those times hasnt changed and what bothers me the most about this is that im sooo scared...scared that im not going to find somebody else who i will love again and who will love me...im 23 and i always pictured myself married and with children at a young age...im sorry this is so long but i thought maybe u girls might have some comments or anything..thanks for listening
OK FIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND BEST WISHES AND ALSO TO THE GIRLS THAT FORWARDED ME...WE DIDNT TALK UNTIL LAST NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HE CAME HERE TONIGHT AROUND 8 AND LEFT ABOUT HALF HOUR AGO AND WE JUST KNEW IT WAS OVER AND WE CRIED AND TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING WE WERE FEELING AND HOW WE CANT PICTURE BEING WITH ANYBODY ELSE BUT THATS NOT A REASON TO STAY TOGETHER AND GET MARRIED AND HOW WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE EACH OTHER AND WE JUST HUGGED AND KISSED GOODBYE AND I RETURNED THE RING AND THATS WHEN WE BOTH REALLY BROKE DOWN...BUT WE BOTH FEEL THAT THIS IS THE BEST BECAUSE WE BOTH HAVENT BEEN HAPPY IN A LONG TIME AND MAYBE WE SHOULDNT HAVE EVEN GOTTEN BACK TOGETHER IN THE FIRST PLACE AND JUST BECAUSE WE MISSED EACH OTHER WE MISTOOK THAT FOR HAVING TO BE TOGETHER AND OF COURSE WE WONT BE OVER EACH OTHER IN A FEW MONTHS..ITS BEEN NINE YRS AND IF ITS TRUE THAT IT TAKES HALF THE LENGTH OF THE TIME YOU WERE TOGETHER TO GET OVER THE PERSON WELL THEN I AM SCREWED!!! LOL...BUT I FEEL GOOD AND WE SAID THAT AFTER TIME WHEN WE ARE OVER EACH OTHER THAT WE HOPEFULLY CAN BECOME FRIENDS BUT OBVIOUSLY NOW WE WONT TALK AS MUCH BECAUSE WE DONT WANT WHAT HAPPENED THE FIRST TWO TIMES ...WELL GIRLS I MAY COME BACK TIME TO TIME BC I THINK THIS IS GREAT THERAPY BUT FOR NOW I AM GOING TO TAKE ME TIME AND FIGURE OUT WHO I AM AND WHAT I WANT...GOOD LUCK WITH ALL YOUR WEDDING PLANS!! AND THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

I am so sorry for your pain, now is the time to be selfish and completely focus on you. i was in a situation when i was younger when i was with someone for a while and was 'comfortable' with the relationship and knew he could be a decent husband. i VERY often said to myself, 'would i rather stay with him and have a mediocre, comfortable life, or should i face the devastating heartbreak and pain of moving on hoping that i will find the person i could have a great, amazing life with?' well, i stumbled upon the second choice and am so grateful of it, because once you find the person you are meant to marry, there will be no doubts in the world!
you will find happiness again, i promise you!

Re: we might call it off...really long sorry im just sad...UPDATE
I'm proud that you were both mature enough to end it all now before you ended up in an unhappy marriage or after you had kids.... So many people stay together and lead miserable lives bringing children down with them....
ALSO that taking half the time you were with a person to get over them is Bull-shiiiit! STORYI was on a path to destruction after my last boyfriend cheated on me and called it off (I was willing to forgive and work on it--stupid...) Anywho I in my self loathing state, started hanging with wrong crowd because I didn't want to be home with my thoughts and drank every night along with other things and --this is gonna sound corny, but I walked into a bar, yes a bar one night and there was this guy sitiing by himself who wouldn't stop staring at me, any way I started talking to him and he was having a rough NYC time as well, we became friends and now almost 3yrs later we're getting married.
Life takes crazy twists and turns. You will find that person that is perfect for you when you least expect it, I know he felt like THE one, but my point is... Others have ALSO thought they were with THE one, and later you realize you weren't... I know blah blah, youre freaking hurtin and nothin we say will make it better faster, but just keep these stories in the back of your mind and don't close yourself off to the outside, because theyre are so many wonderful opportunities waiting to find you! --BTW not condoning going out and getting wasted to find FH--- just saying life finds a funny way of working itself out....

It's good you talked it through and got some closure. I know it must be terribly hard, but just think it's for the better!

Im so sorry that you have to go through this, It will feel like the worst thing in the world for a little while but as time goes on you will get stronger. At least this was a mutal thingand you dont have to to keep thinking if you did something better would it have worked because you both feel the same way, even though its sad its closure. I wish you the best of luck in the future and in no time youll be back to yourself. GO shopping and treat your self to a day at the spa. It will help.

awwww i'm sorry it didnt work out in a better wa for you but like you said, its probably better this way. I hope you guys can remain friends. I cant see you throwing away a 9 year friendship. If you guys really love eachother, I cant see you guys stopping communication all together. im sure its needed right now. I wish you luck! Come back an visit!

I am so sorry about this situation. If you feel like this is for the best though and you agree 100% with your decision, then that is the first step of mending the pain. I know it hurts and it's going to hurt for some time, but be strong and always stay true to yourself - that's when things work out for the best!
Good luck in the future!
