10 years ago, I was in the most crazy relationship ever. We were both in the military and loved each other so much, it was probably unhealthy. When he got transferred to a different base, he called and broke up with me over the phone. I was devastated. A few months later, I got out and headed home. But I couldn’t stop thinking about him no matter how far away I drove. A month later, I wrote a letter, telling him everything I was feeling, how I thought of him, and that I wished him well for the future. I sent it and experienced some sort of closure. But a few days later, he calls me and says he read my letter. Can he come visit? He drove three hours to my doorstep to hug me and tell me he missed me, before driving back to the base for work. Ten years later, we are happily married and still crazy in love with each other. Even though I doubted myself the whole time I wrote that letter, my openness and my gesture of communicating with him opened the door for us to try again. ❤️
you should give her tips on men, shes either toxic or on the spectrum, you on the other hand with the socks pose stahp ur doing that and all men agree she knows what shes doing, out of all 25 of my K queens you got the hawtest dude nojomo and he cooks i assume he does push ups and pull ups
2 years into my relationship, my boyfriend broke up with me. We hadn’t been doing well, we weren’t on the same page, but I was so heartbroken. We didn’t speak or have any contact for 6 months. I started dating after about 4 and I was starting to feel like myself again, but still missed him all the time. After 6 months to the day, he contacted me and told me he was completely in love with me (which he’d never said to me or anyone else before) and that he needed time and therapy to get on the same page as me. He knew that I might have moved on, but he took a risk to tell me how he felt. We started slowly dating again, but I could feel the difference in our interactions. We’re celebrating 5 years next month and we’re getting married ❤️
Hi Maddy!! I just wanted to say this is the first time I have seen a podcast like this and I love the vibe and how you integrated cooking into it! You are such an inspiration to me and I hope you continue being your amazing self! 💞
I love that these drop while I'm getting ready for work on a Friday haha. Awesome podcast episode as always Maddy! This one really made me think and brought me back to probably one of my most influential times of my life... I think I've only ever reached out to an ex once after college....we had a very turbulent relationship overall during freshman/sophomore year(both parties at fault) and honestly ended on pretty bad terms to the point where we agreed to just not talk to each other anymore. I was so head over heals for this girl and going through the break up really messed me up emotionally. Since we were in a very similar friend group, not talking at all became VERY difficult and actually resulted in me seeing said group of friends a lot less as a lot of them already had "taken her side" so to speak so I wanted to let her have her space to heal. (note I'm still friends with everyone from that group today, I just felt that since my ex was already confiding into that group that I'd just let her have her own space. I'm glad that my friends were able to help her without becoming resentful of me). I think we didn't talk for about 5 months or so and even after we tried to talk again (with the intention of being friends) it just didn't feel the same. Even though I still felt a certain way about her, I could tell in both of our demeanor as we talked that we both kind of just felt that we would be better as acquaintances, so we left it at that and honestly didn't really talk at all for the rest of college. After we graduated I still kept thinking about her from time to time, but not like in a romantic way more just a curious to see how she's doing after all this time as we both were going through a lot of personal issues during college as well. No matter what had happened between us, I truly did just want the best for her and after finding out how great she was doing post graduation I honestly felt at ease with our "relationship" for the first time. It's been probably a few years since then, but I can say reaching out did give me some closure even if in the end it wasn't meant for us to be good/close friends. Sorry for this long ramble of text....your podcast just really brought me back to that time haha. I'm in a good place now so all is well and I do think your rule #4 is sososoooo important! Knowing your intention of why you want to talk to them/reach out to them again is such an important factor in if you should reach out to them again. Mine was for closure/to see if friendship would work, and I did end up at least getting closure and someone that I could reach out to if I wanted to, even if we aren't good/close friends anymore.
Although this is not really a topic I’m struggling with, I really enjoy listening to your podcast. It gives me so much comfort and makes me feels so warm and I somehow always find something inspiring when you are talking about your own experiences and memories, even if I don’t necessarily relate to it. I hope you continue making these awesome episodes and delicious recipes! 🤍
I married my 첫 사랑. We dated when we were were 15 years old meeting by being accidentally lift mates on a church ski trip. We both were invited by a friends from school. Fast forward 4years and there we are in college. A whirl wind of new faces and people. New experiences but at different colleges. Temptation and the questions of what if. What if this isn’t for us. What if there is someone else out there, we are only 19. I got my heart broken early in college. We saw and dated other people for 6years and just like the submitter, we were in each other hearts in some form we wanted to deny. We would think about one another intermittently but never thought it would be an option to see one another. We lived in the same city but never ran into one another as we circulated in different groups of friends. 6years later we run into each other at a friend’s birthday. We happened to be both single, catching up and talking about family. His grandmother was very sick and he had to fly back to Japan to see her. I offered him a ride to the airport knowing how important she was to him. Before his flight we talked about what happened between us and where we stood now that we are older and hopefully wiser realizing there was still love there. There was still something buried under some resentment, guilt, anger and sadness, but if we did try giving it a chance again, can we move past it all? I fell in love and married my 첫사랑 and in our story we found love rooted in chance, but effort and patience. It is possible as we dance with the fates to make it possible.
The theme of loss and death has been one present recently in my life and something I have been mulling over. This pierced my heart, made me bawl my eyes out and resonated deeply. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in such a beautiful manner 🥺
Making the list is actually crazy powerful... it can feel extremely weird when doing it, but seeing the words on paper and facing the truth it gave me a better understanding of how/why we broke, insight to myself as a person then, and wisdom to prepare for the future. I ended up not reaching out, but it gave me the closure I wanted without needing to actually talk to them.
My first two serious relationships I gave it another go. The first one, I’m grateful we gave it a try, and I would say that in some ways I still love him. The love now has grown to more of respect and wishing them only the best in life. The second one, I don’t think it was a great idea. And that’s fine! Mistakes are meant to be made and I learned a lot from both.
what if its already 8 year and somehow i still thinking about him? we havent met for a very long time and i dont think that i still love him but the fact that i cant start the new relationship is not okay and i think i need some kind of closure from him but i think its too late for even just for a simple closure, guess ill just hsve to stuck to the idea of never love again?

It's took me 3 years (2020 - 2023)to move on from a relationship that was existed for only 1.5 month.... I'm so grateful that I've moved on

I think I can speak for all of us when I say we feel like your close friends watching your podcast. I love it! 💜 And your hair looks gorgeous ✨
This one hit home. I’m binge watching your podcast it’s really addictive. Stories, food, advice, good music, good times.
The theme of loss and death has been one present recently in my life and something I have been mulling over. This pierced my heart, made me bawl my eyes out and resonated deeply. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in such a beautiful manner 🥺
Maddy so creative and caring. Love it
