McKenna: "Wow. That was a hard thing to do, but I'm kind of relieved. I feel good."
Yep. I wrote a big paper at like 10:15 last night explaining stuff, gave it to Andrew today and asked his opinion. Andrew said, "Don't give this to him. Just tell him. McKenna, you don't want to be with him so you need to break up. And don't say you might get back together someday, because that's just false hope and will hurt worse than the truth in the long run." Then he held up the paper and said, "If he doesn't tell me you broke up or seem a little off by tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to show this to him. From what you wrote you're obviously wanting it to be over but too afraid to say something, and it needs to happen soon."
Wow. I just made Andrew seem like a real jerk. He's not, I promise, that was his advice. And as soon as I had that conversation with him I found enough confidence to go talk to Tony and break up with him. And Tony said he's fine! I'm still worried about it, but I'm feeling really awesome and I'm glad I did it. There's another girl somewhere out there, and they'll fall in love, and she'll never feel the spark go away like I did. And if Tony loves her, she is a very deserving girl and is lucky to get such a great guy. As for me, I'm perfectly content with being single. Maybe I'll find a guy someday and maybe I won't, but I think I'll be happy either way.
Aw, that was really brave of you to tell him yourself, and your friend sounds really nice while being completely honest with you. Those are the kind of friends you need.
