The Truth About Break-Ups
Every relationship starts with two strangers who know nothing about each other. And so you call each other twenty times a day, and you share secrets you swear you’ve never revealed to anyone else. Until you wake up one morning and each knows the other person better then they know themselves.
In my two years with my now ex-girlfriend, the constant communication became an integral part of my daily routine. To the point, that when we were not together, I slept with my phone on the night stand in case she called.
But now that we’re broken-up, the calls, the e-mails, and the instant messages have all stopped. And I’m left wondering, when did we get to that point?
When did we erect the wall in which we simply refused to speak?
And there in lies the truth about break-ups. In order to protect ourselves from further hurt, we close the door on our lover, and we lock out our best friend.
