To The Relationship That Lasted A Week

And Why You Can Never Be Friends With An Ex

To The Relationship That Lasted A Week

Well, there's not much I can really say about this week-long "relationship". I wouldn't call it a waste of my time, because like all relationships and events do, this small relationship taught me several things.

It taught me to not let my guard down so soon, that even if someone says one thing, they might really mean the total opposite. It taught me that trust is a hard thing to earn, and once you lose my trust, you will never get it back. You said all of the right things, so much so that I made sure to ask you if you were just telling me what every girl wants to hear, and that you were too good to be true. You said no, but I'm glad that I know the truth.

I also learned that there should be no double-standards, especially not in a relationship. You got mad because of my guy friends, but it was cool if you texted other girls because they were "your friends". However, this was not cool.

This week-long relationship also helped me to expand on the qualities I would want my future husband to have. The problem we had was a difference in religion. To me, my faith is an extremely huge part of my life, and I want to make sure that I have that in common with the next person I have a relationship with.

I learned that people who move on too fast from their last relationship don't think about other's feelings, and will jump into another relationship. You definitely did this, and ending up hurting not one, but two people in the process. I honestly felt sorry for you because of the way your ex was talking to you, but now I can't say that I blame her at all.

Ultimately, I learned that you can never be friends with an ex, no matter how brief the relationship was. After we broke up, you basically begged me to still be friends with you, to which I agreed. I saw you as a caring person, and I respected you for who you were. We talked everyday, and acted like nothing had happened. Soon though, you became distant and stopped talking to me. Not to my surprise though, you said you had met someone. I didn't understand why this would matter seeing that we were just friends. Now, however, I'm thankful that everything happened the way that it did. It taught me lessons that will prepare me for the guy that will actually be worth my time.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
