I hadn't talked about my relationship with SO for quite some time here, but I have an update. I ended it yesterday. I hadn't been happy for quite some time and had been avoiding arguments. As much as I love him, and I love him very much, we were just completely incompatible. I want to move to a big city and he wants to live in the country. I want to be closer to God, and he couldn't care less about spirituality. He loves hunting, camping and playing video games (I hate that), I love dancing, basketball and really ratchet music (he hates that). His friends don't like me, and my friends don't care for him too much. We have completely opposite hobbies, habits and interests. And we want different things in life.
So when I brought it up to him yesterday, he seemed to agree with me. I didn't break up with him; it ended up being a mutual decision. I told him that there wasn't anything wrong with him or me, it's just as a couple, I didn't see us lasting. I'd had that feeling for a while, but it was really confirmed last weekend at my cousin's wedding. After seeing how much they loved and cared for one another, I just knew I didn't have that with SO.
I thought he was ok. I was the one sobbing the whole time and he stayed strong. Then he wanted to talk last night and was doing really bad. He asked why I was doing this to him and what can he do to get me back. He didn't do anything. I mean, there are things about him I didn't like, but that's who he is. He can't change who he is to please me. He shouldn't have to.
Y'all, this is so hard for me. He is my first everything: first kiss, first BF, first love, first time; I have no reference point for how I'm feeling or what to do. I never wanted to cause him pain, because I love him so much, but if it wasn't now, it was going to be later. We just weren't meant to stay together.
I feel awful that he doesn't have the support system I have. I was able to talk to lots of friends before and after who helped me keep my spirits up. One is taking me out to dinner tonight. But his friends were like, "f that b, let's play video games." I just feel bad he hasn't no one to discuss his feelings with.
