Okay... so the story of my ex-boyfriend of three years is a long rollercoaster ride... ending in a giant downhill fall. To save myself from repercussions, I will call him Mr. Green in this post and future blog posts.
Mr. Green and I originally met at a very young age. We went to the same babysitter as kids and grew up going to the same schools in a town of only about 10,000 people. We were never close as kids, but both ended up moving back to our hometown in our 20's. Our romance started easily and quickly. Throughout the almost three years together... we had some really amazing times and were deeply in love. We moved int together after only four months together. I think Mr. Green enjoyed taking care of me (long story there, illness involved), but I dont think he knew how to deal with a healthy Sherri. We officially broke up in February, and then tried to get close again (friends, but I had my guard up against much more than that).. but it ended even worse in June. Long story short, we are not on good terms. Lesson learned... hindsight is 20/20 and love can make you blind to problems - yours, his, and in the relationship.
I do miss what we once had... but I think the reason that I was able to get over this lost love was that the love started dwindling and the problems started rising long before we broke up. One can't focus on the fairy tale part of a part relationship or you will never get over it. One can't place the blame on the other person for a relationship ending or you will end up bitter and resentful. I believe that everyone wants to love and be loved... but sometimes we meet the right person at the wrong time or meet the wrong person at the right time.
