Yeah, great point, so multilayered it is, but also the weirdest thing that gets overlooked is like the a phenomenon called external memory transference, and this is not the reason U got together was to get another harddrive, but U relied on that person for not just being understood and identity of who u are, but also like, cognitive shit too. When U break up, u actually have to readjust to learning shit that the other person already took care for ya.
The last ex like helped me so much on formatting papers and editing, after we broke up, fuck dude, well it just sucked having her 'eye'. Good thing we broke up with all my major shit done.
Point is its not just emo & identity shit, its cognitive as well.
Yeah, breaking up is not an easy transition.
