Life Changes Directions


Once upon a time...
Sorry, that is a fairytale beginning, and in order to be a fairytale that means you have to end happily ever after...right? Well so far we have started this story out all wrong.

I suppose the image to the left gave the story away. I know what your thinking... another one of those heartbroken girls crying about it over the internet, but this is beyond that.

Its amazing just how much impact one person can have in someones life, then all the sudden how fast everything can change. Imagine a young couple who has been together for nearly eight years, this is a serious relationship. A couple who is supposed to be working toward goals in life, such as career goals, and possibly the purchase of their first home together. Then things go sour.

One partner realizes the other has been having an online relationship with someone else, and decides that this is not something to be tolerated lightly. When the partner is confronted about the situation, he apologizes for his mistake tells his girlfriend that she is everything to him, and acts as if he will make everything better. Then when she comes up with an itemized list of rules in order to regain the trust and rebuild the emptiness.

He does a complete 180. The guy who just was loving, caring, wanting to mend the wounds has a whole different outlook on the situation. He started blaming her for ruining things, telling her it was her fault that he was looking for love from someone else to begin with. Saying that she had too many issues trusting him (which you can't blame her, because this is not a first offense situation). He enters into much more of a less emotional state, and more into an angry person.

She has lost much more than this, yet trys hard everyday to make him enjoy her. She desperately wants her old lifestyle back and for the love to be refurbished like a broken electronic, and would like to buy it at the expense of nothing.
