| I was trying to find a geeky, nerdy way of putting that subject, but I couldn't come up with anything good. So, I'll just be blunt. Serene & I have felt a lot of distance between us, but we weren't really sure what was causing it. We've talked about it a few times, but we were never sure what it was from. We broke up for two reasons:
She came over Saturday night and burst into tears. Once she'd calmed down enough to be able to explain, we talked about it for the rest of the night. We tried to come up with some alternative, but (since I was committed to being single for grad school, and even more importantly, wasn't in love with her) we couldn't really come up with any. There's no rancor (unlike with most of my ex girlfriends); it was a mutual and amiable breakup. In fact, we both care about each other a lot, regardless of our breakup. We'll stay friends, and we'll continue to talk, just like I have with some of my other ex's. It was the right thing to do. It still hurts. Update: I forgot to say this before, but I realized that the "distance" that Serene & I've been feeling was ... that commitment to be single when I go to grad school. Perhaps to you, not a shock; but to me, it was. It was pointed out to me, and I went "... oh wow." Because with that commitment there, our relationship had nowhere to go. | ||||||||||||||
