The pain of relationships.

For the last two months, I have been dating a man for whom I care extremely deeply - frighteningly so.

Today, I switched our relationship from dating back to friends.

I expected his anger, his wrath; I expected him to blame me, to never want to see me again.

But he was understanding. He wants to be friends while we work on the reasons for the relationship ending, and perhaps try again in the future.

Sometimes, understanding is harder to take than anger.

I haven't slept the last 3 days, in part due to the difficulties in this relationship. There was a lot going on here, and it's incredibly complicated.

We'll see what the future holds, eh?
