The title says it all really, I was in a long term relationship that ended three years ago. Nothing too crazy happened, we slowly grew apart and she was the one who finally ended it then we turned into strangers almost overnight. No part of me wants to reconcile but I suppose I didn’t get the closure I wanted, I’ve moved on, am in a better place and realise looking back we was never right for each other and deep down I knew that but didn’t want to accept it. The resentment/shame comes from things ending so abruptly and us turning into strangers so quickly, It was my first relationship so I pined over her for a few months after the break up and did everything apart from beg to fix things. Now three years later I can’t help but feel embarrassed and resentful that I gave her that power over me, if I could’ve seen things as clearly as I do now then I would’ve been different. Maybe it’s my ego talking, I’m just a bit ashamed of the whole scenario. submitted by /u/Usual_Individual_322
