I was so dead-set on showing my partner that I’m totally rational and normal, and that anyone would respond this way. I said something to the effect of, “Hey, I’ll be fine. I mean, you don’t really know what this feels like, and you couldn’t, unless the tables actually were turned. And I wouldn’t want you to feel the way I feel right now, because it sucks. So I just have to grin and bear it.”
There are some people who dread that you’ll get back together. You two, romantically, were not good together. You fought a lot. Or were terribly codependent. You brought out the worst in each other. Some friends watch the situation very closely to make sure it stays platonic.
If you can't be an adult about it, stay away!
Are you still trying to hold on?
We’re all slight perfectionists when it comes to relationships. But, you need to stop and ask yourself, is our difference in opinion over this issue worth ending the relationship over?
