"Oh, it didn't work out." I have often thought about that phrase and how odd it is. It really only works out if a couple gets married in the end, right? Maybe? You guessed it, yesterday I got the big "I think you are beautiful and I am attracted to you, but I just don't see this going much further." The truth is I was fighting off similar feelings, but put them away as just anxiety of going into another relationship, but it still hurts to be dumped. After a good cry, I realized that although 'it' may not have 'worked out' in the normal sense I think that this is how things are suppose to work, and so yes, it did work out and here is why:
- I had a good time with him
- I am still me. I didn't lose any part of me in this, and most importantly he didn't take any part of who I am, if anything he lifted me up
- He made me feel beautiful (and told me I was) without making me feel like that is all I was or that is all he wanted from me
- He was respectful of my requests and communicated openly about them
- He actually broke up with me
- ...he loved my cats:)
So, yeah it worked out, because this time I will be okay...I am okay.

I love you, and I agree. It's totally possible that a relationship that ends with a break up is in fact a form of working out. Kudos.
