I just got out of a long-term relationship and I've been hearing all types of "words of wisdom" from my friends. They say "you're going to be better without him" or "now you can do what you want" or "you're still young" or "there are plenty of fish in the sea." If you have been in my situation you know what I'm talking about. However, at times I really don't want to hear it. He was good for me, and even though maybe I wasn't able to do EVERYTHING I wanted I think that's reasonable, because you do that for the people you love, for example your parents. Now I'm not trying to say that people should stay in relationships or that i regret my break up, I just want people to understand that when people get out of a reltionship it's ok to just give them a hug and tell them "what happens happens" or "things happen for a reason" (even those are "words of wisdom" as well) because it's not that easy to just forget about that person and move on.
