One week before their holiday, Boyfriend told Girlfriend of 7 years that he couldn't look her in the eyes and say he loves her. In fact, he isn't even sure if he has ever told her he loves her. Girlfriend didn't say much to that except that she loves him. She is understandably upset and heartbroken. She stays put in his apartment, her reason being they can't simply put off the holiday, something which both of them have been looking forward to for weeks now.
I would not go into the reasons why Boyfriend asks for a breakup. Meanwhile Girlfriend questions over and over again, 'Why? I don't understand why!' After hearing that for the umpteen times, it just drives me up the wall and I give up now trying to find excuses to soften the blow. It is hard going through a breakup, no one can deny that. But not to accept the breakup is another thing. In my opinion, there is no why when a relationship breaks down, especially in situations as mentioned above. Nobody can analyse why someone stops loving another. Love is not Maths, Physics or Chemistry where one can deduce a number of reasons when a formula doesn't work. When it comes to the matters of the heart, no one really knows.
Perhaps Girlfriend is still in denial. Perhaps she needs more time. But after much consoling and empathising, I can't help imagining her in our NS camp with an official shouting at her, 'Wake up your bloody idea!!' Ha! I am in my usual evil self.
Ex-Boyfriend and Ex-Girlfriend are now on holiday together.
