This happened a few years ago.
This is the first time i lay a story like this to “paper” so i hope you will give me a bit of leniency :D
It is a bit of a long build-up, but i need to paint the entire picture.
A little bit of a background story – i was 32 back then, 6ft, a bit athletic, long hair and a goatee that i kept in check; i had broken up with my long time girlfriend about a year before, she was the love of my life and we had been together for 8 years. Most of those years were great, we grew together, we went through hardship and supported each-other
every step of the way. Along that way though, little things have started to pile up, lack of communication … etc etc.. it got to the point where neither one of us was happy anymore and we decided that it was better to go our separate ways than to have it end on its own in an ugly way later.
We broke up, i moved out and i took it hard. The first 6 months of that are a blur. Just going through the motions.
