The ending of a long distance relationship is a funny thing. It's almost anti-climatic. It inevitably happens over the phone (or if they're cowardly, AIM or email), and really nothing in your life changes. You don't have to develop some kind of elaborate scheme of avoidance, and friends don't have to figure out how to choose sides, or how to spilt time btwn the two so that they don't have to choose. Life just goes on as per usual.
But...there's no bedtime phone call. When you're having a bad day, or feeling down or lonely, you can't pick up the phone and simply have the sound of their voice act as a pick me up. No surprise email messages or facebook/myspace messages just saying they miss you.
Essentially nothing in your life changes. Your daily routine of work and friends isn't affected by the end of a long distance relationship. But you are. You miss the little things like the phone call too late at night where he just got home and wanted to still say "goodnight." And you're hurt, but the one person who you desperately want to talk to more than anyone in the world...you can't.
Long distance relationships are hard. The break ups aren't any easier.
