Love and letting go
Relationship Stress / by frankGrapefruit7312

...See more I fell in love with someone I was never meant to have. She was older than me—married, with kids. We met by chance, talked for hours, and before I knew it, she became my world. She loved me too, or at least that’s what I believed. But deep down, I always knew our story wasn’t built to last. For two years, we shared our dreams, our pain, and moments that felt like forever. Then one day, she decided to walk away. Not because she stopped loving me, but because she thought it was the right thing to do—for her family, for her kids, and even for me. She went silent, shut me out, and left me to deal with the weight of everything we had been. At first, I couldn’t accept it. I asked myself a thousand questions—Why did she love me if she was going to leave? Was I just a temporary escape for her? How can I move on when everything in my life reminds me of her? The answers never came, just the pain of waking up every day knowing she was gone. I tried everything to escape the feeling. I distracted myself with work, kept a smile on my face for my family, and acted like I was fine. But the truth is, I was breaking inside. She told me she wanted me to be happy, to find love, to have a family of my own. But how do I do that when every bit of happiness feels incomplete without her? I’m still fighting this battle. Some days, I convince myself that I’m healing. Other days, I feel like I’m drowning in memories.
