I love you a lot but I love my ego as well. We all are human being and we all are different. We all think we are superior than each other. This is where i feel I love myself more than I do to you. And I know it's the same on your side. I tried my best to come to you everytime when you acted to go away from me. I tried to give the best of me. But that was a TRY - I tried. I am not a perfect person and can't ever be. I tried but then that's how world goes - It didn't work this time too. Your ego and mine makes us different than we are. We love each other but does that really matter if we can't live together or come together as 'us'? And sometime I question if we really love each other or do we love our ego more than we do to each other?

Move ahead. That's what my mind telling me right now. I have a limit to everything. I do what my heart tells me and you know it well. But I certainly know that you do what your ego tells you. You listen less to your head and heart and more to your ego. That's the simple difference. I try to be with you and you try to be just yourself. But finally what matters is being self. You certainly know the art of moving ahead with life if something doesn't work. I usually have the habit of roaming round and round on the same place till I smell something. I take a little longer time but finally I do. No worries.

I want to make things work until I feel it works. When I give up, I really don't care about it. And this time, I am thinking to get away with everything around me. I want emptiness rather than tranquility. Can't achieve tranquility while you keep on fighting everyday for your survival.

I salute you for adding a spoon of romance on me. It would have been so different had we not brought our ego in between. It would have been so good if we had been able to to change the spoon full of romance to the ocean of love. We didn't. It didn't work out. And I feel this should be the end. That, which doesn't work, would really not work. Why keep on working on that. Yet I respect the time we spent together. It was wonderful and that made me stronger as a person.

This article isn't about blaming you or the relation we had. It's about blaming the ego factor. You as a person is a beautiful woman and I treasure all those moments we spent together. Hats off to you and thumps down to our 'ego'. Have a good life ahead.

I don't know how old you and your girlfriend are...but i think separating  due to Ego issues is in correlation with age and maturity. When someone is at a mature level and have mature outlooks then that means they throw away Ego's and give to the other person unconditionally. You're right, u cant be in a relationship if u got too much ego. Relationships is about compromising, changing for the better for the sake of that special person, willing to forget about pride and think about the others feelings completely. You and you're girlfriend aren't ready for a serious relationship..but if u truly love each other then why u want to seperate over something that can be fixed maybe not now but in the near future. Remember u dont know what u got til its gone..then it's probably too late to get her back even if you lose the Ego. So you're just going to keep your Ego's with everyone u are with and then keep seperating? Now how will u sustain any serious committed relationship at any time in your life? I'm sure u or your girlfriend want to get married (with whoever) so you'll have to mature out in order for that to be successful. Think about how much she means to u...can u see life without her? If u cant then i hope u dont make a regrettable decision.

Good luck!

Nice article, but the reasoning was not all that good. Ego is afterall a part of you and if you dont try to control it then nothing will ever work out. :)

sometimes it really doesn't work, no matter how hard you try to maintain your relationship, once it starts to crack, it will further goes apart.  Ego can be one a spark, but afterwards the whole relationship becomes irritable

 

Nothing but Lennon's words ring out loud n clear when I read this thread: "Love means having to say you're sorry every fifteen minutes."  So, bite the bullet and let your emotions flow out to her if you still love her rather than have us scoff at your behind for making your most personal issue a part of public domain that is bound to be spat/kicked and abused by us all here.
