Countless times I have signed in to this site to start a pointless topic, write a more or less cleaver reply, or just stay updated on what happens on this area of the internet.
Sadly, this is not one of those times...
Me and Catty have been together for almost seven years. During those years, we have struggled against things you could hardly imagine, and been trough situations that would certainly have broken weaker couples. But regardless, our love for one another have always led us to fight on.
But no more.
As many of you should be aware of, Catty had meningitis during the summer of 2013. Even though she defeated the disease, it still managed to inflict grave wounds upon her.. The greatest casualty in the battle was her memory.
With a big part of her memory lost to her, so too was the majority of our relationship together. Without the memory of who we had been, what we had achieved together, and how we came to be as we are now, it became difficult for Catty to be in this relationship with me. She still had warm feelings for me, but the "Spark" was gone...
Nevertheless, we refused to give in, so we did what we do best. The only thing we knew how to do. We struggled. We fought. For each other, for our relationship, and for our future.
That was almost a year ago. Almost a whole year of trying to piece our relationship together again..
With stubbornness, fighting spirit, love and compassion you can move mountains.
But you can't change the feelings of the heart....
We still love each other.
We do...
But without that spark, it is but a pale shadow of what it once was.
So we sat down together one last time as a couple to talk.
Talk about or imminent defeat. About or life together, and what awaited us on the horizon.
And together, as a couple, we decided that it was better to end it on good terms, before the missing spark turned our once great relationship into a state of decay and we would grow bitter against the person who once was the most loved one in our life.
We broke up four weeks ago. We're still clinging to the hope that we will find our way back to each other, but as it is now, a relationship won't work.
We thought you all deserved to know.
And now you do..
