...who is in a dilemma of the heart...and the mind. You see, many years ago, my friend met a guy. They had a super awesome relationship, but didn't date for many years. My friend was wrapped up in a serious relationship the entire time with someone else. Once her and her long term boyfriend broke up, the door opened for the old friend to step in and have what he always wanted. Their relationship was awesome, intense, and pretty much life changing. He told her they'd be married someday and my friend totally put her life into believing it, getting close to his family and friends and feeling she was connected in every way possible. Then, he dropped a bombshell on her. He was moving away for college for two years and didn't want to be distracted by a relationship while he finished his education. My friend was absolutely devastated, heartbroken, and one giant mess. She ended up making decisions she would later regret and started living her life through the eyes of someone who was in a lot of pain. In a nutshell, she did things that were WAY out of character.
Anyway, through all of life's twists and turns, they always found their way back to one another and to this day remain incredibly close. They know each other like nobody else does. Like literally, can read each other's minds. Despite other relationships over the years, they've never been able to forget.
Now, the friends are at a crossroads. Do they "pick up where they left off?" Is it worth the risk? Can she afford to be hurt again? What if it doesn't work out? What if it's just not the same? How does she know he's serious this time? Is this REALLY who she's meant to be with? If not, why does she still have him in her heart? She's in a real dilemma.
So, I figured I'd turn to some of the most intellectually awesome advice givers out there to help her. MY blog readers. If you guys could write a letter to my friend or give her some words of wisdom, what would you say? I'm always curious to hear relationship advice from outsiders and complete "strangers."
Thanks lovies! <3
I say to tell your friend to jump and don't look back!! :)
ReplyDeleteSomething I have always lived by is 'if you're meant to be together love will find a way' and in the case of your friend..well it sounds like love may have found a way. They always find their way back to each other and can't keep the other person off their mind. I say jump in and try a relationship again. It might be their last chance at happiness and heck if it doesn't work out than at least they will both know. I'd rather take the risk then live my life wondering 'what if?'.
