After 13 years together, a couple moved across the country but stayed unhappy, held back by fear of the unknown. When a relationship breaks you down, the speaker says, it's time to end it, not cling to it out of attachment.
Chapters
I think that this is two people who got together 13 years ago and y'all were in a different place. And I think that the relationship was fun, it was exciting, it was probably unhealthy back then too, but y'all were young, so you just went along with it. And I think that each time you break up, you know in your heart that maybe we've grown apart, but because you're afraid to see what else is out there or afraid to let go of what feels so familiar, you're not moving on. And so what we have here is now you've moved all the way across country to be with her and you're not happy. And the sooner you admit you're unhappy, the sooner y'all two can have a real conversation about the fact that y'all don't need to be together. The fact is you're unhappy, she's unhappy. And when a relationship starts to break you down, it's time to break up. And that's just the truth of it.
