I just got out of a long term relationship of 6 years. We went through most of college together and I was always faithful, so over those 5 years, he was the only person I had slept with. While I was with him my friends had had some positive Tinder experiences, and I had always been curious.
About 2 months ago we broke up. It was a mutual split. I think time had changed both of us and the relationship had simply run it’s course. Both of us were ready for new things, so it was sort of a natural split. I was bummed out for the first few weeks and mostly just kept to myself. I hung out with friends, focused on work, etc. There were moments where I missed him, and we texted a little bit back and forth, but kept our distance.
