We just ended a short term relationship, and unlike my past relationships pre-TRP, I've come to realize that it's just not that big of a deal.

No doubt it feels shitty, which to be honest, is a normal response in my opinion; however, it feels good knowing that I can control my emotional state. If there's one thing that this subreddit has taught me is that these events are the true tests of a man's character. EVERYONE under the sun goes through this, and rather than feeling like a victim, I feel like this was an opportunity for growth - that is the biggest take away for me.

I will continue to hit the gym and lead the awesome life I've created for myself.

This is a thank you to the teachings of this subreddit.
