'It's like we both grew up into complete humans.'
A breakup isn't always the end of the road. In fact, a hefty 60 percent of couples report getting back together again,With the factors that drive individuals apart and then pull them back in vary as widely as the actual people in the relationship, it's hard to point to any general reasons why some pairings come with an on/off switch. For insight, we asked three women around the country to share a snapshot of their romantic coupling, pre- and post-calling it quits.
"Meeting at age 19 made for a sweet story, but it came with its share of challenges. We quickly learned that we didn't need to simply grow together, we had to growtogether. The perfect moments were sprinkled with difficult ones, including a breakup that nearly broke us. "In 2008, as college graduation approached, we knew we weren't ready to get married, but real life was beginning and personal decisions had to be made. We'd been taught to forge our own paths, take pride in our accomplishments, build a career and felt we were facing a choice of conscience. Do we break up and risk losing each other, or do we stay together and risk losing ourselves?"Rather than do the 'Let's be friends' thing, we decided to try a clean break.
"We eventually realized we didn't need to choose between a relationship and satisfying our ambitions. We had to be brave enough to nurture both. After five months, we reunited and dated until we got married in 2012."There is a French saying, tu me manques. The literal translation is 'I miss you,' but what it really means is, 'You are missing from me.' During our time apart, we both felt that at different times and in different ways.
