Times Up

If you had asked us a few days ago how we were doing, we would have beamed and said that we were great.

But like a stopwatch, it seemed that yesterday was our last day. After ten wonderful months, we looked at each other, and both agreed that we've never had more happiness or fun with another human being.
We also had to ask each other those "where are we" and "where are we going" questions.

After much discussion, we found out that even though we were both happy, we were not in the same place when it came to this relationship. Though we could have stayed together, it probably would have hurt us more down the line. (a.k.a probably hurt me) The relationship was also becoming somewhat stagnant, and would have just deteriorated in a matter of time.

Before our conversation yesterday, I could see us doing anything in the future. I saw myself moving up to Alaska in a few years with him for his studies, I also saw us breaking it then and there, and every possibility in between. He didn't know what he saw in the future, because he doesn't know what he wants.

So, technically right now we're on a break so that we can figure out what the hell is going on, whether it's worth it or not. We've set the guidelines, and will meet again in three weeks, and then decide what we want.

Still, we have yet to have a big argument and somehow this was hurting the relationship. We also suspect that because we are so alike, this too was hurting it.

So whether this break will make or break us, we'll see.
