Please post your inspirational relationship. I’m not doing so well.

Hi, all.

I’m a romantic - through and through and deep down to my core.

6 years ago, I met literally the PERFECT man. I have never to this day met someone who I connected with on such a level or made me so purely happy.

5 years ago, he unexpectedly broke up with me. Literally completely out of nowhere. It DESTROYED me. After a year of waiting for him to “come back”, I began my sexual rampage. Which, don’t get me wrong, was fun as hell.

I went to Paris 2 years ago. Went absolutely insane. Best summer of my life.

Met a guy from another country. We didn’t have a crazy clicking connection, but I couldn’t get him off my mind after he left Paris. We continued to talk and formed a long distance relationship, which we formed into something beautiful and deeply romantic... and completely intangible and fleeting.

Then, I moved to his country. All of the “romance” almost immediately dissipated and reality came setting in. We were NOT a good couple.

In the meantime, I discovered my aforementioned ex is gay. That explains his sudden breakup with me years before.

Anyways, I’m sitting here, newly single again after moving my entire life for this man I met in Paris, wondering if true connections within couples actually exist. I had one once before and I thought I actually had the world and was a lucky one, but it was all one-sided for a man that apparently would never even love women.

So what I’m asking you is to please prove me wrong. Bring my romanticism back to life. Share your beautiful stores. I’ve become so bitter that I even believe that when people DO share their “love stories”, they’re actually just fooling themselves and tricking others for their own “feel good” and are merely CONVINCING themselves that it’s real, when it’s actually not. Which they’ll realize soon after. And then begin the cycle all again with another “love”.

Prove me wrong.

Make me believe again.

Please.
