I've read so many of these stories after I had a really bad breakup and they all helped. So now I finally made an account and want to give my story and why you should always have hope in these situations no matter what people say.
My ex and I were a fresh couple barely together for a month but were always together for 3 months before that. When I first met her I knew she was a different girl I knew i wanted to be with.
It was close to the end of my junior year of college when I was planning on going home for the summer ( out of state but only by 6 hours drive time). She had told me she had feelings for a guy she knew before me and didnt want to keep on going in a relationship and keep hurting me although I did nothing wrong. Of course I was crushed by this especially since this was the first breakup that hurt me in this way because I loved this girl genuinely. I made the mistake of begging and pleading which resulted in her wanting to go NC until she was ready to talk. We were NC for about a month. During that time, I .became depressed and hit an all thine low to start my summer break. All of my friends told me to let go and move on but none of them understood how I felt inside. Even if i wanted to move on my mind knew she was the one for me.
It was about a month later she contacted me to see how I was and told me she was coming to my state with her uncle for a week and wondered ifI was able to hang out with her. I agreed and we hung out and everything felt normal because I kept my cool. Right before I left she told me how she knew I still had not moved on and said that I needed to because we could only be friends which broke my heart even more. I agreed to be friends because I still cared for her as a person.
About a week later I went down to her state to visit some friends and she again contacted me to hang out and we did. It was casual and fun and she admitted to me she wasn't truly over me and was just confused on what or who she wanted to be with,but she knew what we had was great and missed the connection we had.
Ever since then we have been talking everyday and I can tell she may want to try a relationship again in the future.
All I want to tell the doubters or the pessimists that may not have hope is to keep hope and have faith in God's great work. He does extraordinary things through our prayers. And even if people tell you to move on or forget someone, at the end of the day it is your feelings and you should follow what your heart says. Hopefully this helped someone today
