Search Results: run from a relationship

Ever do or say something so thoughtful you shocked the other person and it changed the relationship?:)

From my life:
I roomed with my brother in college. He always had cereal/milk for breakfast. I loaded the dishwasher that morning. I'd often be a knucklehead and not think about anyone else and run everything. But today, I left 1 bowl and 1 spoon out that morning and left the last of the cereal for him, rather than eating it myself with enough milk! He got up for school and came in as I was heading out and figured he'd been screwed over and let out a sign of grief that he wouldn't have breakfast. When he saw that I had thought about him and did what was...perfect in consideration of him, his expression did a 180!

That little gesture dug deep through preconceived notions of who I was and it changed his view of me.

Since that day, our relationship changed. He had previously been emotionally abusive and demeaning. After, he started saying positive things to other people when he'd previously always would cut me down in front of them! It took years for me to accept positive words from him or anyone, it didn't match the broken record recorded inside!

I learned many years later that I am sensitive to words and empathic and it altered my life in so many ways. No that I've healed, it's like the butterfly coming out of the cocoon!

You can punch a hole through that stuff and get to the heart of the person and change their life with words and deeds if you try!

Words are like swords! They can cut deep. They can also extract a poison arrow from the heart!

So what could you do today, or what could you say that would strike another person in a way they never dreamed of? Go ahead and do it and see what happens?

After being on and off for a few years with a Mormon girl, without being Mormon myself, we finally got into a long term relationship a few years ago.
She decided to go on a mission and everything changed. She broke with me on Valentine's day 2 years ago, and although we were in contact a few times during her mission, nothing was resolved.
I reached out to her again right before she came home and nothing.
I ran into her about 5 months ago, and she said she had moved on cause she couldn't be in relationship with me because of the religious difference.
Since then, I've noticed she's been coming up regularly on my social media, and I made all new ones while she was on her mission because I got hacked. We've never interacted with each other on these. But she keeps coming up, and from what I read, Instagram does that based off searches, as in she's been looking at my profile.
My friends all think she's checking up on me and we can't agree if she's messing with me or checking on me.
What do you think?
