Thanks for asking! :D I was a little unsure of whether or not to do long or short answers but… I dunno I’ll just answer them and we’ll see.2. “Ever been in love?”
Possibly. I don’t really have anything to compare it to. I certainly did and do love him, platonically. I’ve known him since we were five. Maybe while we were dating it started to morph into something else but I’m not sure it ever really progressed into full blown romantic love on my end.
3. “Ever had a terrible breakup?”
While I was dating the guy I was referring to while answering number 2, I actually broke up with him twice. For the same reasons. I was in the middle of discovering, rather horrifyingly, that I am polyamorous. I thought that if I was in a relationship, I would stop liking multiple people at the same time. The first time we broke up, I missed him terribly, and agreed that we could “work through it”, so we got back together, and I felt pretty guilty about liking other guys while I was supposed to be faithful to him so I called it off again. Our friendship was never really the same after that, of course, but we were still friends, of that I was grateful. I’d known him for 17 years.
I didn’t actually cry over him until he got a new girlfriend and something happened between them, an argument, I don’t know, he was vague with the details, my name came up somehow and she made him block me on everything and cut all ties with me. … you win some, you lose some, I guess. So yeah, that was pretty terrible, even if it was a few months after the actual breakup.
