Couldn't agree more. I went through just about the exact same thing but different end result. Me and this girl dated each other for about 3 months, she had to move back to Texas, we tried to make things work out, but we eventually got to the point where we both felt like staying together with the distance would be unfair to each other. She got back together with her old ex and that didn't go over too well. Lasted about 2 weeks. Even then we still talked. I ended up making a huge mistake, though and got drunk and high one night and told her a bunch of terrible things. Somehow, she forgave me but still hated me. Then she hated me a little less, then she could stand to talk to me with others around, then she could talk to me one on one, then we became friends again, and then we both eventually opened up and told each other we still had feelings for the other. So, now we're both trying to make things work again, and I honestly couldn't be happier about the situation. I'm going to be going down in a few weeks to meet up with her again. I'm super excited, but I feel like this would have never happened if neither of us were as open with each other as we were and as we are now. So, yeah, OP knows what he's talking about. You just gotta speak your mind.
