Whether madly in love or just a casual fling ... It doesn't matter when it comes to breaking up. It even doesn't matter who is the dumpee. Breaking up sensibly, talking with no hard feelings. They are all the same, on the day of seeing your ex for the first time as an ex. Which is today. Today was also the day we broke up. Chances of bumping to your ex when living in a small campus of 3000 people are highly intense. Especially that said ex is also a member of the only student club you're active in. An older, more experienced, more popular member.
Which leaves me dealing with weird looks in the concert by other members. And a series of crises.
Aside the fact that I'm absolute crap at relationships, I'm also crap at breaking up. I broke up. I wanted to. But now here I'm typing aggressively on my laptop and he's out drinking in the campus. And what's even more annoying is that the fact I was also invited there before the ex position. Now everything is "weird", must be handled with care. Apparently you have have a neutral face whenever there's a possibility of seeing your ex. ( abuse of the word ex, yes I know.) How the fuck was I supposed to know he was checking me out whilst I was laughing my ass off? We are supposed to be apart, with mutual decisions so in my book that means no checking out obviously, when there are tons of people around. And the saddest part is me, the one who was babbling about how not good the relationship is for the past week, is sad. Actually sad. Actually wants him back.
There should be phases of breaking up. It shouldn't be the cuddliest couple ever, than the most silent duo ever. People should be able to talk freely with their past lovers, there is a reason they dated. They got on well. Why is that privilege taken away from old couples?
In my opinion the hardest part of breaking up is not thinking about the good times you sharED with each other. So continue to share better moments and the rest will be forgotten. A lot more easier than acting and trying to be cool. Certainly a lot better than not talking at all for months to come. The act, the silent treatment. It tires me.
What is the most important factor in a relationship? Honesty. I assume that that's why people play games after breaking up. The games during the relationship have a name, they have their rules. They are games played in an honest way. Post break-up, however, it gets downright ugly. It becomes a card game, whoever has the upper hand wins.
After all the fake acts, there is still the fact remains that love never ends. Whether you want to admit it or not, each person becomes a part of you, you treasure them deep within your soul. Or at least in your thoughts.
He once said: Every relationship is an opportunity to have a good time, to realize your hidden parts. With each relationship you gain something.
Woody Allen once said: A relationship is like a shark. It has to move constantly forward or it dies.
We said: It was fun but missing something.
It didn't know how to swim.
