Search Results: guy friends influence

So me and my girlfriend have been apart something like 4-5 months now. I've had dreams of her and looked for ways to get her back from the guy she left me for ever since she left me on my birthday. I texted her an apology for acting like a simp after the breakup and she called me and accepted. The thing is EVERYTHING is in perfect clarity to me now. It wasn't really US who had problems with each other, it was THE WORLD AROUND US. ( We were awesome, but our relationship was under some pretty damn extreme circumstances) we were great for a long time, but it was long distance. We saw each other but only every so often. my family went homeless for awhile, I was stressed, her mom was a hater and blamed me for having a bad influence on her, so she kicked out my girlfriend, we both got jobs, and life had been thoroughly kicking my ass for about a year straight but those are only a few of the details. Long story short, I stopped taking care of her like I used to because... Life. She began feeling unhappy and neglected and began talking to an old friend of hers who became her emotional safety net when I wasn't there for her myself. She got grass is greener syndrome and bailed. They've been together since then. Do I explain how everything was actually okay between us and we just succumbed to falling on hard times, or text her another way? I don't wanna seem desperate. (I've since gotten myself together. Two jobs, gotten better with girls, been on some dates, got a new house, going to school, planning a future for myself, even moved MUCH closer to her... etc)
