It brings out some thoughts about my last short lived 9 month relationship.
Much like you, it was an easy breakup, although I stressed so much before it happened. I do hope she has found her "happily ever after" as her parents had planned for her. She was a good person, but like FFG, there was a missing connection between us.
But...and there is always a but...you will rebound and find another good man. You are a good woman with good morals. You live in an area with a lot of opportunity for happiness. You are lucky to be in such a beautiful marine environment and close to one of the great cities of the USA. Thank you for saying that Kerry. As for seeing him again...I was friends with her for a short time following the breakup. But, we fell out of contact. Maybe that was best as I hoped it allowed her to move on much quicker. Yes, I can't be "friends" with a former lover. I can be friendly, but he mentioned doing the Wild Waves haunted house with the kids and doing it together and then something about how he hopes on a nice day he can still ask me to go riding with him. I thought that was weird. I can't hang out with him casually. I don't know why I would or why he would.
Just keep doing your studies for now. Be the best mom for your kids as you have always been. And you will be surprised what comes your way. I have no time between the Chemistry and Math class... which by the way confuses even the tutors I am seeing (thank goodness for them and the college offers them for free up to 4 hours a week)
