The breakup hit me out of nowhere. I know he’d been a bit distant for a while, but I thought we were okay and that it was just a phase. So when my boyfriend texted me to say he didn’t want to be with me anymore without any explanation whatsoever, I couldn’t deal. I needed…
You’d think that when people are done with relationships, they would just end them and save everyone the trouble of confusion and even more heartache, but things aren’t always so simple.
