When I was a kid, I believed that I would meet my future husband and we would both gravitate towards each other and have that moment of “when you know you know”, date smoothly, say “I love you”, marry after 2 years of dating, and live happily ever after.

Then there are those stories you’ve seen, where someone in a relationship of nearly half a decade breaks up with their SO and you think, how? How could you have loved each other for 5 years and then just break up?

I used to see those too and never think it would happen to me. Those are just for unlucky people who did something wrong to deserve to be broken up with after so long. But here I am. No one did anything “wrong.” He just doesn’t want to marry me. After 5 years.

I’m devastated. I can’t fcking believe it.

Do happy ever afters actually exist? Or do some good people just never find anyone because of bad luck?
