My boyfriend just broke up with me a few days ago out of the blue. I literally had left that Sunday morning with everything perfect, and BAM! Two days later, I'm getting that fated text of "We need to talk" and soon enough I'm single.
The most devastating thing about it all was that it wasn't an emotional break-up (ie, due to cheating, resentment, boredom, etc.)...it was simply because he'd made himself face the facts that he wasn't the one for me and visa versa. We were totally happy together (we'd been best friends before dating and continued to be during) and we had no one else but each other since our other best friend is on contract in Iraq currently. Now, I'd known for a while (months) that he more than likely was not my "forever" guy and I'm normally the type to make the hard choices and do what's right. However, for once, I decided to be selfish and keep it going because we were both HAPPY. Why become miserable and alone when we both comforted each other so happily? We're not the kind to go out and find tons of dates with others either, so if we broke up, it was definitely loners-ville for both.
And now here I am, more outrageously lonely than ever because the ONE person I had going for me is now not. We're still best friends, he's still there for me, etc...but I'm twisted up inside because I'm partially blaming myself, calling myself stupid for pulling it along so much, and whatnot.
I just don't know where to go from here.
