The 2.5 year mark strikes again! astro_girl and I broke up just after I landed in San Francisco for the summer (that was almost three months ago now), and it was a decision that should have been made a long time before -- we just weren't working anymore, but I was using excuses like 'I still love her' and simple pity to stop myself from going through with the act. It ended up just hurting me and her more in the end, but it's better late than never, you know?
Unlike all of you guys, though, I was totally over the relationship the minute it came to an end. Maybe it's because it's something I wanted, whereas with some of you, you were left on the other end, hoping to have the relationship come around again. I wanted out of my relationship for at least six-eight months before I actually went through with it, so it's kind of a relief at this point to be free and single - even if it means no poon.
Then again, I am going back to school in a few weeks, where the girls are in ridiculous abundance.
I still have to see her at least one more time, though. I became very close to her four sisters during the time I spent with her, and it seems asshole-ish on my part not to at least say hi/goodbye one more time. So, I'm planning on closing up that gap in the week between arriving back in Chicago and heading to school. Hopefully that's not too emotionally draining; as much as I know and feel I'm over her, who knows what it'll be like to see her again...
