I feel like my ex doesn't even understand why I broke up with her. I think I explained it to her clearly, but it doesn't seem like she gets it. She likes videos where a girl talks about how(?) the other person left because it was too hard for him to apologize. Well... I have a lot of issues, like being overly emotional, an(?) inability to change certain habits, and even raising my voice, but apologizing wasn't one of them.
I was supposed to fly out to visit my ex for Christmas today, but I canceled the flight and requested a refund. It feels like it’s truly over now. I’m overwhelmed with feelings. I feel grief. I miss her older family members and the toddlers in the family. It’s crazy how the final chapter of our relationship has come to an end. This was the last door. It’s so quiet. I felt special when I was dating her.
I need to get emotionally ready for a quiet Christmas.

Hey Norbert, Thanks for sharing this personal post with us! I come from a different situation but I was like your ex. I don't know whether this is something about us, as women or what. I hope both of you will find the way to heal very soon!
P.S. And you're always welcome whenever you feel like ranting or venting. :)
I think you were smart to cancel the trip. If you're going to break up, it needs to be a clean break. If you're meant to be in each other's life in some other capacity down the line, it'll happen organically once you're both ready.
@CocoPop : Yeah. However, the plane ticket cost me a lot of money for me. So this cancellation costs me a lot :'(
@Double-Zee : Thank you :)
Norbert, you should've just deviated a bit to the south and come to us for Christmas in Palm Beach 😉
