She has vanished from social media, so I haven’t had any communication with her in many years. And no, this story doesn’t end with ‘I’ve since found my true love.’" —u/AudioNibbler —u/weinerwayne We almost broke up more times than I can count: Every few months or so, it was usually her trying to break up with me, but it never really ended our relationship. I tried breaking up with her a few times, too, because it just felt like we were too afraid to leave (not that I knew that at the time — at the time, I was probably thinking something more like this isn’t going anywhere). Eventually, she did break up with me, and it took me some time to realize that I was never really in love with her, but more with the idea of status/having a girlfriend. It wasn’t until I started getting over the whole thing that it became clear to me that we didn’t seem to like each other all that much — that’s why we fought as much as we did and had issues about the most random things. Ultimately I think it was a mistake, but I don’t hold it against her or myself anymore. We were teenagers after all, and it’s common to make mistakes like that." —u/mr-blindsight —u/HairoftheDog89 This is a big part of why I advocate that while disabilities, neurological issues, and mental health issues can help EXPLAIN why a person acts a certain way, it doesn’t EXCUSE the harm that they do due to those actions. Trying to reach out to her to try to apologize seems cheap now; what can you say for a situation like that? I’d really rather not dig up the past for her — she doesn’t deserve that. She’s moved on with her life, and frankly, I’m incredibly glad that her life doesn’t involve me. She didn’t deserve what I put her through, and she deserves to be happy."
