My boyfriend Richard just left me. Things had been going South between us for the past few months, to our joint dismay – as we seemed so "made for each other" on paper. But we were never able to reverse the downward spiral that we started to spot back in May, and our love slowly dwindled. "We are like oil and water", he writes. We don’t seem to mix well.
I know very well that things were not working between us, so I accept the break as something that needed to happen. I’m not the kind of person to cling to some illusory romance. Some kind of break was needed.
Nonetheless, Richard is the person closest to me right now, and I hope and assume that we will stay friends, that we will stay close. He is on the same page, it seems…
