I called it quits with my boyfriend today on a video call. It had been brewing for a while, and the breakup was very amicable. Instead of feeling angry or sad, I actually feel fresh and excited. I think it’s because we got into the relationship very quickly, and I never really got the chance to explore or “play the field.”
Relieved, tbh. It wasn’t working, and it hadn’t for a long time. We somehow drifted from being a couple to friends with benefits. And over time, I am reluctant to claim there was much if a friendship involved either.
We did have a lot of mutual friends, though, so we didn’t cut contact. And about a year and a half later I was back in the area, and a bunch of us were out drinking. She was making out with some dude she met that night, possibly/probably in an effort to make me jealous. One of my friends asked me if I had any opinion on the matter, and I don’t think I’ve been so honest ever again: “Never before have I felt so indifferent”.
