“first” dinner single…ever?
first post, hi everyone!
since i was 14, ive been in and out of relationships, always within 3 months of each other. most of the relationships were at least a year long, so when i was in them, i really committed. it just never worked out.
i’m 22 now, and just broke up with my latest boyfriend. we were together 1.5 years, and i made a lot of compromises during it that made me realize i didn’t really know myself…because ive always been taking care of someone else! i had a huge realization that i was prioritizing partners over myself, which was crazy to realize. i even gave up my dreams for my career, living situation, etc. to continue our relationship, and when i realized that, i had to end it.
now, im very excited and happy to be intentionally single for the first real time in my life! i can do whatever i want, go wherever i want, and pour into myself and my friends. i have no interest in another relationship for the first time EVER! while i am still sad to not have a partner, im considering this a win for me and my dreams!
