I Went Through A Break Up That Changed My Life [Painful Breakups]

Going through the breakup of a long term relationship is like knowing a dead language.

You've gotten to learn the details of a person, perhaps even to the minutia. The little things you came to appreciate. Their likes and dislikes, personal philosophy, struggles, and the ins and out of their personality. Things that perhaps no one else even knows about them.

You come to learn a unique language of romance that you only speak with them, and that cannot be replicated.

And then one day, they refuse to speak it with you. It degrades, and then fades away.

Until one day, maybe even you'll forget it too.

I relate way too well to this one, wish I didn't.

@offingg I'm sorry to hear it's so recent. Yes, the whole on/off thing is like a serrated knife that just makes the wound worse.

"...being honest in pain is power."

Hold onto this - it's a powerful statement in itself.

Inspiration from Nayyriyah Waheed:

I also read care package by sylvester mcnutt III. It's great. :)


Also yeah, but I learned from it so I don't regret it. I remember being told i'd learn from it and i'd just groan at them but it's very true

@offingg Nice. I like that.

Likewise. What I learned is invaluable.

It’s not easy to hold back tears of familiarity reading this.

@GeistInTheMachine It certainly is. No where for those emotions to go. They hang around the neck weighing you down like an anchor.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@LadyBronte Yeah. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm sorry.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@GeistInTheMachine And you too. Hope it gets better for you soon.

Hope that day comes soon for you.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@Wol62 Ah, yes. I'm largely over that particular wound.

Thank you.
