New Beginnings

So I guess it is time to dust off my blogs and get back at it.

Sadly, Doug and I ended our relationship of almost 1 year this past weekend. Unfortunately it got quite ugly and we both said some things that we regret, but he said some things that I just don’t think I can get past. It was tough to hear how he really feels and although I know he said the things he said in anger he had to be feeling them on some level.

I truly hope that he can find someone who will make him happy and be what he thinks a boyfriend should be. Five years ago our relationship would have worked because I would have been willing to change who I am to make him happy, but thankfully I am not that person any longer.

I will be fine. I’ve actually been gearing up for this for several months as we began to fight more and I saw more and more of a limitation to where our relationship could go. Doug is closeted in the majority of his life and I never realized how difficult that could be on a relationship. I hope that someday soon he can come out and be happy about it because I don’t believe he can be truly happy in a relationship until he does.

So…Miss Jackson is back on the market I guess. I went out last night with Chris and ran in to someone who gave me just the ego boost I needed to make me feel like this was the right decision.

I will always have a love for Doug that won’t die but we definately were not meant to be together at this point in our lives.

Peace!

    i’m sad to hear that your relationship with doug didn’t work out, but you’ve made the right decision. being forced to change who you are to be with someone will ultimately cause you to resent him and be unhappy with yourself.

    on the bright side, i hope this frees you up a little so we can hang out more! cheers!
