WONDERWORD ANSWER FOR
MARCH 29
Lifetime
Can you get
over ‘the one?’
Dear Carolyn:
I broke up with my girlfriend of three
years last year to move across the coun
try for a job. We had a fantastic, mutu
ally satisfying relationship and had so
much fun together.
I knew from the
beginning that she
wouldn't do a long
distance relationship;
she'd tried it before
with another guy
and hated it. I never
thought I'd move
away, but I applied
for a really long-shot
job at my current
company, and, surprise, surprise, I got
it. I could not pass this up; it would have
killed my career and, in a way, me.
She took it really well when I told her
last August. We agreed to stay together
until the end, but I sort of closed off,
and we split in October.
Now here I am in my shiny new job
and apartment, and she's all I think
about. How do you get over someone
you kind of don't want to get over? I
feel like we could be separated for a
decade and I'd still run back to her if
I had the chance. Is it fair to myself
to keep hoping that maybe somehow,
she'll decide to move here, too, and we
could be together again?
When I first moved, things were so
exciting and I thought I was over her,
but clearly I'm not. She was the one, but
not in the right place or at the right time.
— Long-Shot
Why would she do for you what you
weren't willing to do for her?
This may sound judgy, but it's not.
It’s just the question you need to ask.
You were absolutely entitled to make
the choice you made.
And sometimes leaving someone
behind for a life-changing opportunity
is the right thing to do.
But when a connection is good
enough to keep forever—when you
realize gaining the job wasn't worth los
ing the person, and when it's not just the
homesickness talking (ahem) — then
you need a better answer than, “Gosh, I
hope she moves here, too.”
She wasn't in the wrong place or
time; you put her there when you
decided the long-shot job was more
important to you than she was.
So that's where my advice starts:
Listen carefully to your feelings. Listen
to what they told you to do before you
moved, what they're telling you now,
and what changed in between.
If it turns out you chose the right
priority as your life's foundation, then
please leave her be. Stop with “the one”
narrative, even just in your head.
And if the Aha Fairy says you set the
wrong priority when you dropped love
for career, then own your mistake —
meaning, don't wait for her to fix it for
you. Do the hard work yourself.
