Forbidden Relationships: What to Do

When I think about my past relationships, I realize that every breakup has its own story. There were times when I was the one who initiated the breakup, and it is these moments that I want to talk about. When I started the affair, I thought that I had found the girl of my dreams.

However, with each day spent with her, not only her positive sides were revealed, but also the difficult relationship in her family. Her parents, who seemed so friendly and interesting, soon began to cause me vague doubts. My mother played a leading role in the family, and when I told her about my ambitions to become a writer, her answer made me think. Instead of support, I heard an appeal to return to "reality" and choose a more "practical" profession. It reminded me of how dreams can be swallowed up by the mundane.

I often imagined how I would spend my days signing invoices and doing routine things that did not excite me at all. My beloved, in her best features, was becoming more and more like her mother, and one day, after another of her light reproaches for not taking advantage of the opportunity to work in a more promising position, I realized that I could not stay in this relationship any longer. My fear was not connected with her reaction, but with the fact that she could convince me of her rightness. I decided to leave, leaving behind only feelings of regret. Unfortunately, this is not the only case worth telling. I had another girl who seemed to have everything to win my heart. She was smart, successful and attracted the attention of others. However, despite her bright features, there was one mystery in her life: she never shared information about her work. My friends warned me, but I did not pay attention to it. The thing is, our incomes were incompatible: she lived in luxury, and I was looking for ways to spend time with her without burdening myself with financial worries. Finally, when she offered me to join her business, I realized it was a pyramid scheme. I couldn’t agree to it, and our breakup was inevitable.

But perhaps the most memorable affair for me was with a girl who declared from the very beginning that she would never be with me. Her words hit my ego hard. I decided that I would do everything possible to win her heart. First, I became her friend, and then, at some point, we were closer than I expected. When, after a drink, she admitted that she saw me as a person with whom she could be happy, I couldn’t resist. We kissed, and I felt how she was capturing me in her world. However, after a while, I realized that I no longer felt the need for this relationship. My victory turned into disappointment, and the breakup became inevitable.

Each breakup left its scars and lessons. All these stories remind me of how difficult it is to be in a relationship when dreams collide with reality. But they also give us hope that we can always learn from our mistakes and move on. Every new encounter with a person becomes a chance to create something real and valuable if we are attentive and honest with ourselves and others.
