Hello, im Simon and i've just had an experience to make me want to grow up. My girlfriend of seven years dumped me. I know why, i was immature and didn't give her the commitment she needed after this much time, its my own fault and i've had the most amazing friends to help me through the pain time, but now i am ready to learn to be a man. When she asked for an engagement ring i ignored her, i ignored her feelings too many times and that is a regret i have to live with. It can only make me stronger, only when you know in your own heart who you are and where you want to go can you give yourself to someone you love. Why when you lose someone close to you do you realise so many things about yourself?
