I was dating a girl for 6 years and 4.5 years we were quickly growing apart. I had matured a lot in those 4+ years but she had not at all. I loved her so much I thought I could tough it out and wait, figuring she would change but after about another year I realized she probably never would. At first, It was so hard to let go of the level of comfort I had achieved with her. The fear of the unknown kept me with her longer than it should have. I was so reluctant to give up on her, that is until we started discussing why things were going the way they were in our relationship. I shared my point of view with her and instead of coming up with anything insightful or even remotely truthful she decided to respond by attacking my character and integrity. She claimed I did certain things and acted in certain ways that anyone who knows me wouldn’t believe in a million years. At first her words hurt me so badly I was numb to the rest of the world, anything said or done to me for the first few weeks after the breakup couldn’t even be processed. Then we spoke a few more times and I began to truly realize the extent of her selfishness and self-delusion. She had been stringing me along for the better part of a year before we broke up without so much as a hint about her true feelings, more than happy to accept heartfelt gifts and acts of kindness knowing full well where things were going (she denies this but actions speak louder than words), while I was left alone in the dark the whole time. After those talks I remember thinking to myself how grateful I was that I found out when I did (even though I wish it was sooner) and it gave me great comfort knowing what was truly going on inside her head because I never fell out of love with anything so quickly in my entire life. A few words made her go from meaning the world to me to me being completely indifferent to her existence.
