6 years.
Basically after meeting while clean experimenting with oxy followed by IV heroin we eventually got on methadone together got off all opiates and in a sense mutually decided to see other people. It was largely her decision but after seeing her in her worst being completely reliant on myself being single was the best way for both of us to rediscover ourselves. I was upset for about a week.
After all I have seen in my life and all that I have been connected to worrying about people who arent me all i can say is fuck relationships and kids i do not want either. I was in a relationship in high school for 4 years then 2 years after that ended in one for 6 years... I have had my fill of relationships.
There are maybe 2 people I fully trust in this world, my younger brother and her. She is my best friend in a sense I have others but if I were afraid or in need of help she would drop anything to help me. I never understood how someone could know someone for so long and never speak to them again but thats what i did with my high school g/f, I just realize now that I never trust anyone its nice to trust someone.
