Mutually Assured Rejection.

So I technically just broke up with someone and I feel fine about it. We had a thing over the summer, hung out a lot, went on dates, had sex etc. but he was only here for a language learning course (from Italy, sexy sexy) and went back after a month, so we couldn't see each other after that. He intended to come back next year for university, so we said we'd not see other people yada yada yada and stay in contact over the year. It was gonna be a proper thing. The distance got to us though, we quickly lost touch and we didn't talk in a long while. And I didn't know what to do after a bit. I had always thought we would likely grow apart with the distance, but he was always really enthusiastic about the whole thing and he was now being a bit distant. Had he gone off me? And I didn't want to scare him if he was just not able to answer his phone all the time or whatever - I just really wanted to know what he was thinking. So I just laid out my thoughts to him in WhatsApp. He responded in kind, turns out he might not come back now anyway so we should just leave it and see what happens down the line, if anything. We were both on the same wavelength despite my fears and that was the end of that. Now I have a great memory I can look back on nostalgically, and it's not 'that guy who stopped talking to me like an asshole after we said we'd stay in contact'. Moral of the story kiddies: tell people what's on your mind. Sometimes you blow things out of proportion when you really shouldn't, especially when it comes to relationships.

  • Couldn't agree more. I went through just about the exact same thing but different end result. Me and this girl dated each other for about 3 months, she had to move back to Texas, we tried to make things work out, but we eventually got to the point where we both felt like staying together with the distance would be unfair to each other. She got back together with her old ex and that didn't go over too well. Lasted about 2 weeks. Even then we still talked. I ended up making a huge mistake, though and got drunk and high one night and told her a bunch of terrible things. Somehow, she forgave me but still hated me. Then she hated me a little less, then she could stand to talk to me with others around, then she could talk to me one on one, then we became friends again, and then we both eventually opened up and told each other we still had feelings for the other. So, now we're both trying to make things work again, and I honestly couldn't be happier about the situation. I'm going to be going down in a few weeks to meet up with her again. I'm super excited, but I feel like this would have never happened if neither of us were as open with each other as we were and as we are now. So, yeah, OP knows what he's talking about. You just gotta speak your mind.
