 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My ex-girlfriend and I dated for three years. I was shocked by the breakup four months ago, since we were such a great couple, had fun, were extremely compatible in every way. At first I was heartbroken, confused, angry, but in talking with friends and family, I came to realize she wanted to get married and gave me a thousand opportunities to go in that direction and I didn't take any of them. Even though I'm 33, this was my first serious relationship, so I was inexperienced, and I admit a little immature and self-centered. Now I feel like a total moron and can't believe how badly I screwed up. She's absolutely someone I'd marry, and I just needed a big reality check to grow up and take it seriously. Is there any way to salvage this? I've been pouring myself into maturing and learning about healthy adult relationships, though I have no idea how to demonstrate this to her. She won't really talk to me and I'm sure she's out there dating guys who know what they're doing. — Got the Wake-Up Call |
