But when did it click--this girl/guy you've been dating for months was just wrong for you?
Hopefully, no one was badly burned in the process.
Flashback: I was at my then guy's company yearly dinner, good projects were recognized, long speeches. During a break in the official program, everyone was chattering away. I realized the conversation had stopped at our table. I guess my guy had asked me a question. I'd gone off to land of Oz and been non-responsive. The team leader of his project, sitting at our table, took it upon himself to repeat the question a few times, the last very loudly. That snapped me back to the table. There were about 5 couples and my date all looking at me, like Owls. It was like being caught daydreaming in class by a nasty professor. Other than my date, I didn't know one else there, so no one to rescue me. I just started laughing, got up and hauled to the ladies room.
When the event ended, so did our relationship. The guy asked what was wrong with me. Other than I woke up, I really didn't have would have been a satisfactory answer. I could have said that during all the chatter my mind took me back to Ensenada and I was dancing with one of the truly crazy fun guys in my life. Instead, the relationship ended with a stupid argument.

Wow, that must have been a personal question for it to end on that.
The last guy I was in a relationship with cheated once, and I did end up forgiving him, but it just kept eating away at me and I just could never trust him. I kept bringing it up in heated arguments, which was wrong to keep doing that. True enough I don't think he ever cheated on me again, but I was really insecure about the whole thing. I would constantly think he was cheating on me. He admitted he felt bad about it and that he would never do it again, but I told him that I just couldn't go on anymore, so I ended it. I mean, if I would have stayed with him, I doubt he would have cheated again, because he really was sincere about not doing it again, but I just couldn't do it anymore. He was hurt, but I felt breaking up with him was the best thing for the both of us.
