It wasn't that recent but I had a really bad breakup in November but I am still having a hard time coming to terms with if. I'm willing to talk if with you if you would like to. I understand wanting to feel understood and honestly, even though my breakup was months ago, I still long for that too. Hope your doing as well as can be.

I also went through a pretty gnarly breakup in November and I’m more than down to talk about it. It’s definitely something I still struggle with daily if I’m being honest. It’s super hard. And I’m here to listen if you want!

I’m here it wasn’t recently, but it was the love of my life.❤️

Ok, we were young high school, and college 4 years together. We loved each more then anything. In fact when he went to college on a football scholarship, he used come home during the week go back the same night, come home on weekends when he could. One time I went to visit him, and we didn’t want to leave each other, He put me on the train, I was crying I didn’t want to leave him, sitting there crying all of sudden I hear I love you from behind me ,there he was sitting behind me, he said I missed you so much already, I had to come home with you. All the years we were together we never had a fight, there was nothing to fight about. We just knew how much we loved each other. Before he left for school he took me the bank made a joint account, worked construction all summer, saved money for a ring for me, he said jr year because he was on a scholarship we could get married ,live on campus married quarters. We were doing great, so much in love then two years into college for him, my brother came home, locked the door talking to my father. My father called me in told me he slepted with a slut took her in those days to New York to get an abortion. I cried in my fathers arms for three hr. . Went into my room called him up calmly, told him we lived to far apart ,thought we should date other people, he was in silence, I hung up. Walked cried all night in the dark, wepted on the church steps, why god, I love him so much. Never had a pimple in my life , my face broke out, couldn’t speak for a very long time, no dating either, didn’t want anyone else. Then one day his friend called me said his father died he wanted me to come. I had to go for him, and his father loved me, as I loved him. I went he hugged me I told him I was so sorry, we wepted together. We didn’t talk about what happen ever. Finally I started dating, a guy I was dating was at my house the door bell rang it was him at the door. The guy knew what had happened he was kind enough to leave. We sat on the couch saying nothing, then we looked at each , he held me in his arm started kissing each like we always did, it was like no one was there but us. My parents were away. We had made love with each other since senior year, it was so beautiful, but that night I knew he wanted to but I couldn’t, I couldn’t trust him, so he slept in one room, me in another. The next morning we kissed, he left. I never called, he didn’t call me. I was still devastated, then I finally met this guy I fell in love with, not the same kind of love, but love that I could trust, a good guy. When I was engaged going to marry soon, I got a phone call with him crying, don’t marry him, marry me now. I said I love him I’m going to marry him ,he cried more. I though my wedding was going to be like a Mrs Robinson wedding, if you know what I mean. I got married, had babies with a wonderful man. We never got closure, which was not a good thing, but I was happy with my New Family. I found out about his life, it was not to good he lost his scholarship after we broke up, was doing drugs, which was not like him, he worked many jobs, live many places, finally got married, many years later. Now he runs a bed, and breakfast which I know I could never live a life like that. I love my husband , he’s a good man, has given my children and I am good life for 47 years. But I will tell you I made the right choice, but I do once in awhile think of that once in a life time love we had, but I still know I made the right choice. A trusted man, a man that would never hurt me like that, a man that gives me the kind of life I love. So it will take time, but you will love again, maybe not the same kind of love, but love that you can trust that will be forever. It’s hard I know, but it will get better, and you’ll find someone else to love, and love you the same way. Mistakes are made, we are all human, in my heart I have forgiven him for myself, that’s how much I loved him. But I would never give back the life I’ve had with my husband now,❤️
