Hey Echo,
My ex just broke up with me 5 weeks ago this friday. She basically told me it was over and to move on. We have been together for the past 6.5 years. We had the fairy tale start. I was in the military stationed in South Carolina. We were good friends and went to high school together. One day I called her while I was a little drunk and told her I was in love with her, and had been for the past couple of years. She came to see me a couple of days later to visit for a while. We instantly fell in love. The first 7 months of the relationship were long distance (michigan vs. south carolina). I would drive 14 hours just to see her for about a day and a half. And then 14 hours right back. I showed alot of affection in the beginning and we grew deeply in love. Well, over the past couple of years, situations have taken their toll on the relationship. She said she would have married me six months ago, but now cant be with me anymore.
I did the clingy thing at first. I begged and pleaded. We were supposed to be together, and everyone knew it and expected it. For the past week and a half I've done NC. I really do hope she comes back, but cant live for that hope. I feel youre pain. Everyone around me is in some way trying to help me. I do still think about her everyday. I've just started expressing it less. I guess we are kinda in the same boat. Keep the hope but concentrate on yourself. Things WILL get better no matter the outcome.
