I'm just curious how you know if a relationship just didnt work? I'm 17 and overly confused with what I want. I broke up with my ex because of all this confusion. I like her a lot, I really do. But I still had a strong curiousity about other relationships because this was my first.

Now I still have that strong curiousity but I also still like my ex and am afraid to move on because if I do there's a really good chance she won't take md back but then again if I go out with her there's that possibility of the relationship not working again then I definitely wouldn't have a chance after that.

Either way I know if it's not meant to be then it's not meant to be but I mean I still like her and I'm confused with what to do. I love my ex's personality and I always just compare it to other girls. I'm just not sure what I want and I'm afraid a relationship with my ex may just not work again because of this but there is also a chance it could.

If it helps to know I have severe anxiety which was bad when I was going out with her but she did help me realize I was driving myself crazy and I couldn't enjoy the relationship because of it. I guess it got so bad I got to the point of confusion. However I'm a little more calm bow that I don't have that pressure but I'm still confused what I want.
