<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

Continuation and Update from [my previous post](

Unfortunately, I didn't get much feedback from the community here, but I did get enough feedback from my friends to eventually make a decision. We broke up.

**My Former Girlfriend**

After returning home to attend her last semester at University, we had the discussion we should have had before she left for the summer.

There were accusations of cheating, and although I could understand the argument for "emotional cheating", I eventually quelled her accusations by proving that even though she is leaving in 5 months, and even though she doesn't provide me some of my relationship needs, in the end I chose her.

I chose to protect myself....and end the relationship now before it becomes too difficult to split up. I was afraid that if I had remained in the relationship, I would be prone to making a horrible decision later that would affect the rest of my life...like giving up everything here and moving to a foreign country to start a new life.

The breakup has been hard, at least for me; the both of us saying things and then wanting to take it back the following day. We both have tried to make a decision for the other, but would only do so if we knew what the other was really thinking. We eventually just decided that it would be best if we stopped talking altogether.

But tonight we talked for the first time in weeks. It was on the topic of returning each other's things. So I proceeded to collect and pack her things...and with every item I set into a box, the more I felt I was giving back a memory or special moment we had. If it were up to me, I wouldn't give back a single thing. Everything I have of her's is special, and found its way into my place for a reason.

We spoke cordially on the phone, and I could see us being the friends we were supposed to be from the beginning. She noticed it too, that the conversation was no longer difficult, and that we could be really good friends after a while. But I guess that comes with time...time that we don't have.
<bot>: Girlfriend and I broke up; I have to return her things and I'm having a hard time packing them away.
