New adventures
I am going to title this post "New beginnings" because thats is what I and Andrew can experience. Although many of our friends loved the fact that Andrew and I seemed to be the perfect couple our new beginnings will not be together.
I was in a relationship with Andrew since 21 September 2008 until 4 July 2009. It was only a relationship that lasted just over 9 months. But in that time I gained a few valuable lessons on being who I am and trying to respect others for who they are.
I do not regret the relationship as a whole as I am not that type of person. But in the same note I knew that what I wanted from my partner and what my partner wanted from me were two very different things. In view of our friends and the company we were surrounded by on the weekends we did seem to be perfect together. I told Andrew and will tell everyone, that in public Andrew and I had an amazing time. I found someone who could be a lot of fun with. he wore his heart on his sleeve for all to see and that is an amazing quality in a man.
Sadly though behind the scenes from our friends life was not what we wanted or needed. I think at some point we both seen a fork in the road and I went left and he went right. I could see and feel that although I cared for this man we were not going to be happy with each other in a long term relationship.
I know I have hurt and disappointed a person I cared for deeply but I had to. I had to be true to my own feelings. I had to be true for his feelings. Difficult questions were asked, discussed and answered. Our voices were never raised, we talked openly and honestly and it is something we should have done long before last Saturday.
So here I am now, single again with a life full of new adventures to begin. I do not know what will happen but I am looking forward to it all.
