B. was unwilling to fully commit himself to the relationship. Refusing to make himself vulnerable to a woman he had claimed to love for years, they split up this past February after B. went to El Ssalvador to meet up with an old love interest.
    B. and L. met at B.'s fraternity house and hit it off immediately. Though L. was seeing a different guy at the time, she knew she was really into B. After B. called and asked her out on a date, she ended things with the guy she was seeing. L. and B. went through a lightening quick courting process, and L. wanted B. to be her boyfriend after spending two solid days together. B. resisted saying he did not like labels. L. was crushed. L. stayed with B. for the first few months simply because she was enjoying sex with B. They eventually designated themselves as boyfriend/girlfriend and dropped "L-bombs" on eachother after 4 or 5 months of being together. In the first year of the relationship L. was madly in love with B. She would have accepted a marriage propsal, though luckily B. was smart enough to know better. After a year L. realized that B. was never going to treat her the way she wanted to be treated, would never love her the way she wanted to be loved. L. was very afraid to be alone, without B., though, so she did not break up with B. L. and B. stayed together for the next three years going on trips together and enjoying life together, but fighting often about things such as amount of time spent on the phone and the amount of time spent together. B. always wanted less, L. always wanted more from him. Things came to a head in the last 6 months when L. and B. were discussing their move to their respective graduate schools this Fall. L. didn't want to admit that they might/should break up and was unsure of what B. was thinking. When the prospect of breaking up was addressed, the two ended up having a really good time together for the next few weeks, letting things go and just enjoying the each other without starting fights. But this wore off eventually, as L. started having those same feelings of being neglected and unloved. B. went on a trip to Central America where he spent a weekend with an old love interest and "best friend" who had just recently gotten out of a relationship. B. claimed he went there to see if there was anything left between them, and when he got the cold shoulder, he came back to L. and acted sweeter to her than he ever had. L. discovered that he had gone to his old love interest and also that he had kept this old love interest at the back of his mind the entire time L. and B. were together. B. said he was really into L. now though, and he wanted things to work out for them. L. was devastated but hopeful of things working out with B. since he had been showing a more tender and thoughtful side recently. L. decided that they could work through this and see where it takes them. One week later B. went to L.'s house and broached to subject of breaking up because B. did not think either of them were truly happy and that they should not stay together just because they were afraid to be without each other. L. agreed fully and they decided to separate.
    B. and L. met when L. went with a mutual friend to fraternity house where B. lived.
    B. will be remembered for his analyzing of ingredients in everything he ate, and his cheapness.
    L. will most miss having someone to hug, hold and kiss, the sex, always having someone to hang out with, and being able to do sweet things for a person she deeply cares about.
    L. will definitely not miss the feelings of confliction and hopelessness and being flat out scared of losing B. someday. L. will not miss the way B. was never really mentally present when they were together. L. will not miss how B. was never truly interested in/keen of her and her feelings. L. will not miss feeling like shit on a daily basis because she feels like her boyfriend doesn't really love her, but too afraid to do anything about it.
    L. is disappointed that things with B. did not work out. B. and L. have many interests and hobbies in common, including liking the same kind of music, television shows, foods, recreational activities and love of travel. B. and L. have great chemistry and are two people that are very attracted to eachother. L. feels the two of them could have been great together, if only B. actually loved her.
