One That is Part of the New Series - Interview One

* man who has had his first real relationship, lasting six months, and is currently single

Me: Once you realized things in your relationship weren't going well, why did you chose to still stay for another two months?
Them: I stayed to try to make it work.

Me: Why did you inevitably feel like you needed to break up?
Them: I just felt like too much was happening.

Me: When you look at yourself, what are some improvements you think you could have made in the relationship?
Them: I shouldn't have spent so much time trying to please someone that I couldn't make happy. I felt like I couldn't be happy until she was, but she needed to make herself happy, not me.

Me: Do you think she wasn't happy in general or do you think she just wasn't happy in the relationship.
Them: I think she just wasn't happy in general.

Me: If you could go back in time and do it over, would you still date her?
Them: No, I think don't think I would, we're just better off as friends.

Me: Do you think there are any issues she could have improved on?
Them: I'm not real sure.

Me: Did it hurt you when you saw her in a relationship with someone else?
Them: No, I just wanted her to be happy.

Me: Did you guys have anything to tie you together? A pet, a kid, a plant?
Them: No.

Me: How did you feel after the break up?
Them: Once it happened, I felt more free.
