Time and time again, I wonder how it is that two people in the same relationship have such different experiences of their time spent together. One completely invested, head over heels thinking he found the one, while the other isn't feeling the spark and is ready to end it. Wouldn't you think that if she wasn't feeling it, it would be apparent enough? How could he be head over heels for someone who's got one foot out the door? I've always understood that as individuals, we perceive experiences in our own way, but I've never come to terms with the idea that two people could have opposite experiences of the same relationship. Why did the break-up come as a shock to him? Why was he surprised that she just wanted to be friends? Was he completely oblivious to the the signs or was she giving him mixed signals that he couldn't make sense of? Is it something he should've caught onto weeks ago?-- when her every-day texts and calls turned into ever other-day texts and no calls? Was he supposed to end this when he felt things fizzling out? Was it too much to expect her to talk about what wasn't working between them before surprisingly ending things? But that's life, right? Two people perceive the same relationships differently, and two people dive into the same relationship from different sides of the game. We're all searching for different things.
