People “grow,” and that doesn’t mean that they grow together. Sometimes, it means that they grow apart.
My ex, was married to her high school, boyfriend, for over 15 years. She used to say, she loved him, but wasn’t “in love” with him anymore. They got divorced.
I was with her for 5 years. We were in love. Then she dumped me. It became clear that she loved me, but wasn’t “in love,” with me anymore. I didn’t do anything wrong. We just grew apart… I don’t know why…
We got back together, for a few weeks, but she left me again…
I blame myself, for getting back with her. In those weeks, it was obvious that something had changed. It wasn’t the same. I don’t know what I did, or didn’t do.
But it’s over now…
My heart is broken, and I think about what I may have done wrong, every day…
I listen to Prince’s version of “I can’t make you love me,” often…
It’s sad, and yet, makes sense.
You have to just understand that people grow apart. There may not be an explanation.
Like I said, I blame myself. Although I may never understand why things ended up, the way they did.
But, I don’t want to be with a girl, who doesn’t want to be with me.
Relationships, are complex, and unfortunately, they break down.
I am definitely mad at my ex. But , I accept, that I must have done something wrong. So. I’m really just confused, and mad, at myself.
Sometimes, things, just don’t work out… Maybe, in another universe, we are happy together? ...
There must be some reason, your daughter wasn’t happy anymore. And it should be her business, as to why, and will potentially lead her, to be happy…
It’s not up to me, why my ex left me. It’s certainly not up to anyone else…
