“THIS IS THE SECRET TO NOT GETTING TIRED WHEN YOU’RE IN AN LDR WITH YOUR PARTNER…”

My boyfriend and I were in an LDR for almost three years. It wasn’t easy, but we held on because we loved each other. Calls before going to sleep, video calls whenever we had free time, and always, “I’m sorry, just hold on a little longer, and we’ll be together soon.”
Last month, he suddenly broke up with me.
His reason was that he was tired of the LDR. He couldn’t handle this kind of setup anymore and wanted to choose himself.
It hurt, but after a few days, I accepted it. There was nothing I could do if he was already tired.
Until two weeks later, someone sent me a picture of him.
He was with a girl. Not just casually together. They were holding hands, and it looked like they were already in a relationship.
I asked him when it happened. He replied,
“I didn’t plan for it to happen. It just so happened that we got close after we broke up.”
That’s when I realized why he suddenly got tired of the LDR. It wasn’t the distance that wore him out.
He just got tired of waiting because there was already someone closer he could hug.
His secret to getting past the LDR was to break up and find someone nearer.
