Maybe I needed a break

I broke up with my girlfriend of almost a year, a while back. And we kept talking. I felt like things at the time got in the way of our relationship. We were long distance, and for a long time I didn’t trust her because of my very own insecurities. She had a really tough upbringing, and so due to my easy and sheltered upbringing, she would voice sometimes how easy my life would be compared to hers. I had recently started my Masters degree so I got busier. She took in her roommate, who had serious mental health problems. And at the time it was also something that added extra weight to our relationship, it was tough since that was my every morning routine just a storm of messages ranting and complaining by about her roommate. I couldn’t take it anymore and we broke things off.

We still talk, and things have changed and I feel better right now, and I sometimes consider trying again since I’m close to finishing my degree now, but I just wanted to vent in this thread. Thank you for reading this, stranger.
