Damn man . Sorry to hear that , it ' s really the wild west right now . At TLC ? I was pondering on whether I should give them another shot . <| sep |> Railcar ! Remember to check us out . We are having a instore Black Friday Sample Sale . And for those who can ' t make it , we have an online one too ! www . railcarfinegoods . com <| sep |> My bf and I are in our early twenties and have been dating for over 6 . 5 years , ever since my last year of high school . So I think both of us can relate to what you ' re feeling and what you ' re feeling is completely understandable . However , we both spent time thinking this through on our own and came to the same conclusion that we would be idiots to pick the highs of being with someone new and whatever personal growth we might experience by meeting and sleeping with different people over the highs of being with someone who makes you want to be a better person every day and the personal growth that naturally comes with that . Our relationship is so different now than it was 6 . 5 years ago , and we ' re not the same people we were 6 . 5 years ago . We were fortunate enough to have a relationship where both of us were able to grow separately , together . Had we not given each other room to be our own selves , though , we likely still wouldn ' t be together . And if you don ' t feel like you have enough space to be yourself in your current relationship or you feel your relationship is actually holding you back from personal growth then you should absolutely feel free to move on without guilt . Just don ' t get hung up on the idea that relationships are innately stifling , because it ' s not true . And since you ' ve already broken up with your girlfriend almost forgot this , just keep this in mind for future relationships and leave your exgirlfriend alone .
