Satisfied People Make a Healthy Relationship

Love should be genuine and delicate. Nothing involving out-doing one another or setting unreasonable expectations. Love is natural, your heart instinctively burns with passion when you see that person.
This was the case for me. I am 15. It was my first real relationship and I fell head over heels for an older boy and he fell for me. He had been in a serious relationship for two years prior to ours. I thought I finally had it all figured out, he was perfect.
I would daze off thinking about the future of our relationship and where it would take us. Honestly, I never saw any obstacles in our way of being together forever. Over time I started picking up too well on his habits and personality. It felt as if everything was predictable. I was too scared of what would happen if we broke up though. I needed him in my life and knew I couldn't live without him, but something was missing. Something I couldn't just go on ignoring any longer.
I wasn't happy. I caught myself wondering what a relationship would be like with this guy and that guy. It wasn't fair to my significant other. I had to tell him that I needed space. We went through many phases where it was off and on. And I finally just called it quits.
He mourned and mourned, calling my best friend crying and begging me for another chance. He didn't know that nothing was ever going to change between us so another chance wouldn't change anything. As much as I loved him, only I could understand why we were better off not together.
It's hard looking back at all we've been through. It scares me half to death thinking about the future of our relationship, him not being there. I know what's best for me though and I believe that I can get through this because only two satisfied people make a healthy relationship.
