My ex and I were each our first serious relationship. We met in college, spent most of our days together, and became official in either sa caf up or sa chapel (oo tangina chapel, like, wtf right) depending on who you ask (please don't ask lol)
We were both nerds, just in different ways, I guess, and we had a lot of common interests. We both liked to read (her more than me) and eat out (me more than her lol). We spent almost a decade together.
Heck, I almost proposed to her.
Almost.

Almost.
And I planned it, down to the finances: the ring I was gonna buy, the tickets to Japan we were gonna book, the scenario I was gunning for when I bend the knee and say the words. But alas, I guess it just wasn't meant to be?
Six-ish years in, she dumped me.
Her reason: she wanted to make sure I was the one. Since I was her first BF, she said she wanted to be certain. So she wanted to date other people first, and THEN get back together if it was meant to be.
So we parted ways.

I was destroyed lol
I remember I had a 2-week seminar in Japan (snow!) shortly after that, just in time for Valentine's.
So like a complete dope, I decided to video call her via ICQ (or was it AIM?) just to check up on her.
We had to cut the convo because she was going to a speed dating event.

So I was alone in Japan during Valentine's, videochatting with my ex who was on the way to a date.
Pathetic.
(cool though, I found out that in Japan, it was the female who gave chocs and flowers to the guys during Valentine's haha)

End.
Post-credits: We tried to patch things up, but it was never the same. It truly truly broke me, and I'm not even sure I'm completely healed after that.
Yuck gago, ang drama mo.

TLDR: Spent Valentine's alone abroad and dumped by my ex so that she can be sure with me (I think it made sense that time lol who knows)
