i left my gf of 8 years last year
yes. not everyone gets married these days. and good thing i didnt.
oh i know, and yes it is a good thing.
i just can't believe it took you 8 years to figure out whatever it is you figured out.
people don't change. at least not that much. so it took you 8 years to figure out something.
that's not necessarily true, at least imo. i mean do you really have all your shit figured out? 8 years... that could be 20-28, and i think a lot of personal development happens then. you're definition of changing might be different from mine, but people's ambitions and desires are certainly refined.
