He had a gf in the meantime, but it wasn't a fruitful relationship. He wanted to marry her but it didn't come to and he was really heartbroken for it. And I never really thought about us like that seeing how he was still hung up on her like that.
That worked when I had school and a demanding job providing deadlines for me. It doesn’t work now. I left my job almost two years ago. I originally wanted some time off, traveled, thought about what I wanted to do next, etc.
