2) Nope. I’ve dated a whole lot but if we’re talking serious relationship, this is my second serious long term one. The first one I was on bullshyt and messed up with lots of lies and not doing things right so I learned the hard way when it ended. You could say that’s the first one where I was in it with intention and doing things the right way because she really seemed to be on that same wave.
So you're not new to this. You both got so swept up in the "honeymoon" stage of things, you didn't take stock of the huge variables that would have to be addressed to arrive at any level of long term success.
You tried. No crime in it. It was fun while it lasted. Take the good moments and appreciate those amd the difficult/painful ones, use as lessons to refine what you will and won't tolerate.
If I had to "criticize" somethings it would be the meeting the parents so quick. But maybe it could not be avoided considering the long distance thing. The other thing I notice is you using "technical" dating language. To me that gives off the notion that you expect things to happen in a linear fashion. Just live in the present moments and let it unfold organically.
This wasn't your first rodeo, you were just caught up.....Such is life.
