Goodbyes are hard for everyone no matter where you stand in life. This post would be a little of a flashback to me. I am sure we all have the not-so-successful love story, right? Well, even I had one and I still, to date like, admire and respect that person.
Now, this present day I wouldn’t say I love him but that love outgrew and turned itself into much of concern and respect to each other. I guess it is the same with him too. As we grew older, we realized, even though we couldn’t make it, it is ok to be in touch.
Ending a relationship on a bad note is the worst thing that could happen. But I guess, I got lucky with this. Having to move away on a mutual note is the biggest blessing ever. And having his call/message on my phone even after years of moving apart is bliss!
Goodbye for good:
For a breakup, there might be many reasons and even ours was no different. But I guess it takes two mature people to break upon a mutual note and not have hard feelings for each other is the rarest thing possible.
I don’t want to go into detail about my breakup story but just look at the positiveness that we still have around. For a breakup, there might be many reasons but all it takes that One reason to keep in touch and know what the other is up to.
In this social media age, it is nearly impossible to hide our lives from the world. Well, if you are a social media person like me. Looking at each other pictures on stories and posts and not feeling sad or having any other negative feelings, is where you have matured enough to enjoy the success of the other person!
But finding happiness in those things matters. You would reach a stage where you still talk, message, still laugh at the old memories.
This is what matters right? That person might not be with you, besides you as your life partner. But that is a person whom you can look up if you need anything or just wanted to talk to. (Calling that person at appropriate time matters, though)

March 12, 2022 at 9:23 amSometimes the best thing to do is also the hardest- breaking up is always terrible especially in that moment but sometimes it is so essential. You’ve really captured that feeling

March 12, 2022 at 4:11 pmIt is difficult to talk about break ups so easily. You have written a very candid post opening up about your past and relationship and ending it with positivity. You have rightly said sometimes you can say goodbye on positive note also.

March 12, 2022 at 7:35 pmStaying in touch with an ex speaks volumes about the health of the relationship and the respect both of you had for each other as individuals coz that does not go away just because you realise that you may no longer work together as a couple. And some of these can become your biggest cheerleaders and support because they truly like you. Not every breakup has to be bad.
And sadly, not every breakup that was not bad results in one staying in touch.

March 13, 2022 at 8:32 amA very honest and candid post. Breakups need not always be about negativity. Being cordial is not easy but is possible. It depends on the individual.

March 13, 2022 at 9:50 amI appreciate what you have written. It is difficult to be in touch if you were in relationship with that person even after you moved out. But happy to know that you managed to do that.

March 13, 2022 at 10:42 amPeople don’t usually talk about their exes or even their past relationships openly. You have shown that it is possible to break up on a positive note.
Harjeet Kaur
March 13, 2022 at 11:41 amWell, I wish all exes had a positive ending like yours. It is said one should not burn one’s bridges. I admire the way you have shared your positive feelings as most of us tend to share everything negative abput such relationships. But times are changing and the new generation forgives and forgets and remain as friends.

March 13, 2022 at 2:13 pmIt’s wonderful to know you’re able to close relationships on happy notes – it take immense maturity, strength and a beautiful heart. I try doing so too, I’d hate to break things off with anyone at all on a negative low.

March 14, 2022 at 11:34 pmThat was a very candid piece. Yes breaking away from relationships is a difficult task but it sis always for the good, rather than waiting for it to turn too toxic.
