I just ended my first long term relationship yesterday. Our breakup wasn't typical with the "I hate you's", and "I never want to see you again", or "You cheated", in fact the last words to each other where "I love you". And that’s the truth, we both deeply love each other but it wasn't working out and things became very unstable. Neither of us wanted the relationship to end, and we tried to fix our problems multiple times and never made much progress. It was like fitting a square into a circle, our relationship just didn't mesh.
Rather then continue on and live in denial, I felt it was better to end the relationship now, and endure the pain then continue on in a relationship that had little potential and would likely explode in the future.
Two young, smart, caring, loving, and affectionate men fell in love who had almost nothing in common. We fell in love not over shared interests but grew to love each other’s soul and we ended it because we knew in our hearts that it just was not going to work. However, that doesn't take away the love we have for each other, nor does it make me miss him any less. I lost my first love and my first true friend.
Do you think it hurts more to end a relationship on good or bad terms? Does anyone else have a similar story of a relationship ending on good terms and how did you handle it?
