Bing, Bang, Boom. Three years down the road and we're still fucked

You break up, you do the friends with benefits thing for a while, and then you realize that whatever you had is broken and cannot be fixed. You call it quits, and you grow apart. After a lot of sleepless nights, and a few angry phone conversations it's end of story, right? Wrong.

When you build a relationship you build a life together, especially when it's long term. Along with this life you build a lot of subconscious reactions and interactions with each other, that, no matter how far down the road, are going to be used whenever you see one another.

Like a relationship, a post-relationship friendship consists of having to work together to find a middle ground where both people can stand confidently and individually. It makes a lot of sense on paper, but it's really tough, and most of the time best left untended since one party is probably not into it... or even aware of these notions.

Bummer... but there's no reason to bum ourselves out about it. The past is the gone. It really sucks that we no longer have anything to say to someone that we once shared many intimate moments with. But really, if we have nothing to say to them, what's the point?
