I did, twice! First didn’t work out. We held on for 4 years, but truthfully the distance masked our problems and we would’ve broken up way earlier. The breakup coincided with me moving for my Masters to a new uni, so you can imagine how messed up I was lol. Bad timing. Like you I had also given up on relationships, was barely even trying to make new friends even though the uni had the most sociable, welcoming people I’ve ever met (Cali hippies, what do you expect :D) I regret that now, that I was so caught up in that loss that I neglected my present.
