<human>: Original post: [

Thanks to all that commented. I'm not too great with replies, but I read and took on board what you all said, so thank you.

So a couple of days ago, we broke up completely. Although we both thought it would be best, she wasn't going to bring it up. I said that given she doesn't think we'll be able to fix what feels is missing, it would be wise for us to call it off. She said that she doesn't understand why her feelings have changed and that she'd like to think we'd get back together in the future. However much I'd love to be with her again, I know that I need to try and move on. We're young and have a lot to learn. Three and a half years is a long time for me, and I'm still coming to terms with it; we got together at 16 so I can't really remember life before 'us'. Tears were shed but I think we ended positively. She's not been very talkative since but I understand that.

Sorry to rant at you all but I just wanted to keep you all updated and thank you so much for your help.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: After talking about 'us' again, my girlfriend and I broke up. It's hard for us both but we know that it's the best thing to do.
