'I always said I wasn’t sure about kids. She thought she could change me. I hated the feeling of being bullied into it.'
Illustration: Jeni Zhen In “Both Sides of a Breakup,” the Cut talks to exes about how they got together and why they split up. After meeting in their early 20s, Liz, 42, and Michael, 45, broke up a few years later after Liz wanted to take concrete steps toward starting a family. By the time Michael decided he wanted her back, it was too late.
Liz: I think I called him and asked him out. I used to be so fiesty and forward like that. I totally wanted him. That’s all it was for me at first. I wanted to get drunk and make out with him and take him home with me … which is what I did. And then we started going out and hooking up all the time. It was a pretty easy and natural progression into a serious relationship. I don’t remember any issues for the first few months.
Michael: After we moved in, I felt very suffocated. It all started to go downhill. That’s when I stopped wanting to come home at night. I’d stay at work longer than I needed to because I didn’t want to come home to her bullshit . I felt way too young to have a nagging wife of a girlfriend. Liz: But there’s a crazy twist! I met someone new five days after Michael moved out. Someone amazing. I met him at a party that my friend dragged me to, to cheer me up. So I got over Michael really, really, really fast. It was crazy. I thought I’d be sad for months, if not years, over our breakup. I think the fact that I moved on so quickly triggered something in Michael.
