Along the theme of the thread which asked for everyones worst first date I thought it would be fun to reflect on the endings of relationships. Once you've been dating someone for a while it's impossible to know when a date begins and regular relationship maintenance time ends so this isn't really about the worst or best last date I just wanted a thread title that communicated generally what I was getting at.
Throughout my life I've been in 3 relationships of any type. One was my first short little flirtation with the opposite sex which occurred when I was around, oh, 15 or so. Lasted a couple months if I recall. The third relationship hasn't ended and hopefully never will. It's the second that ended which I will dwell upon!
Anyway, I just want to communicate to you the moment that I realized it was over. Relationships, by the way, are rarely over when you or the partner say they are. Theres that period of regret, where you constantly ask yourself "did I just cock up big time, should I call her or what?". Well, anyway, a few weeks after we had broken up I was walking through the cold. It was winter at the time and I was drinking green tea on my way to my car after class at the wonderful university I attend on a relatively frequent basis.
We used to drink green tea together since she thought it was healthy and I had no strong preference for beverages though I've always been a bit of a mocha or hot chocolate kind of guy. Anyway, I'm sipping this green tea when I think to myself, why the hell am I drinking this swill? Yick! I dumped it in the next garbage can and haven't had green tea since, likely never will.
That was the end of my second (and to this point longest at around 3 years) relationship.
How about you guys and girls? By the way, my story was lame and boring so someone make this thread more interesting. This topic has potential!
