My last relationship actually ended earlier this year rather abruptly. We'd been together for like... idk, two and a half years I think it was and it had been a hell of a lot of fun. My longest and best relationship yet, definitely.
As I say, though, it ended rather oddly. She'd basically gone on a night out and called me the next day (iirc anyway) all panicky and whatnot. Turns out that she'd got a bit too drunk, gone home with some other guy, they did the deed and she felt awful about it and felt like she couldn't continue the relationship from that point due to the constant knowledge of what she had done. Which I guess strikes me as odd since, while we'd certainly not exactly permitted it, we'd reached a mutual understanding that we could actually overlook such a thing as an awful mistake once or twice. But the way that she rushed ending it so much suggests to me that either a) she was getting bored since we at that point weren't seeing very much of each other due to us being at universities at two different cities (incidentally, I imagined it'd have come to that; we were great together but didn't think the relationship should at all get in the way of our academic lives) or b) she'd slept with someone I knew - entirely possible given that this night out she went on was back home. I'd honestly hope it's a) since... well, the thought of b) kinda makes me cringe, haha. So... that was that.
I guess it hit harder than I'd like to admit. Not because I was massively attached to her and the relationship; as I say, we were really great together, pretty like-minded people that just wanna have a good time, which we were, but neither of us were really invested into it long-term anyway. That rough point in time in general was particularly hard for me. I'd broken up with the person who I'd spent a few years with which sucked but I'd also lost someone much more important to me than her (or most people tbh) which... really did a number on me. Those two rolled together left me feeling worst than I really wanted to accept, I imagine. Although I'm feeling pretty fine about it now. Weirdly, we're still friends and whatnot and good ones at that, so not all that much has changed which is grand.
As for being single now, not even gonna lie - I love it. While being in a relationship is fun, you can have a lot of fun single too. I get all the time to myself I want, all the freedom I can take and - as much of an absolute arse as this is gonna make me sound - all the girls I can bed. I feel like I'm really enjoying having no ties to anyone any more and being able to live exactly how I want totally for me, yanno? So at the moment I'm single and not at all interested. Idk if or when that'll change but yeah. So I guess it's all worked out well! I'm neither with the right person nor am I waiting to find the right person. I'm just being me and only me. 8)
This is a great thread by the way.
