If they suddenly called you up and said its over you wouldnt be upset about it.

You feel like you arent connecting like you used to.

Silence is more comfortable than speaking.

Its almost like youd run out of things to say to each other.

And it hurts because you never thought youd get to this point ever.

So you settle for silence because thats easier than admitting what is actually going on between you two.

You dont miss them when theyre gone.

They leave and you realize you dont miss them the way you should.

And thats when it hits you something needs to change.

You seem to miss the past more than appreciating the present.

Youre clinging to the moments where you fell in love but those words almost feel like a lie now.

Here you are doing everything you used to but it doesnt feel the same anymore.

When all you have in common is the past you realize there might not be a future.

You arent learning from each other anymore.

You used to do so many things with this person and go so many places.

When you were with them you were learning something new every single day and you loved it.

But now youre at this weird stand still where youve learned everything you possibly can from each other.

You arent happy anymore.

No matter what this person does or how hard they try it doesnt make you happy anymore.

And its cliche to say its me not you.

But it really is.

You feel like they areholding you back.

And you hate admitting this.

But beinguncomfortableis a good thing.

It means something needs to change.

you should probably be someone more than just in the relationship with them.

You are fighting more than youd like to.

Little things that would never get you mad in the past seem to irritate you more and more.

Its almost like you are now looking for reasons to be angry with this person or start a fight.

One of you seems to be trying harder.

But what makes it hard is when one person doesnt want to give up on the relationship.

They arent always answering.

Maybe its you deliberately not answering or you realize they arent.

Youd be okay if it ended tomorrow.

If they suddenly called you up and said its over you wouldnt be upset about it.

In fact, youd be relieved they were the one to say it.

Moving on seems like a breath of fresh air.
