I spoke to my ex yesterday and came to a realization. I am farther along in the process of reconciling my feelings than she is. I have a clear view in my head of who she is and what she meant and means to me. The realization that I came to is about why she is less clear about things then I am.
I know Sarah very well, we dated for seven and a half years during which I got to know the super-fun person that she is. I realize now that I became a different person around her. I was more gentile and more accommodating to her than I would be to any of my friends. I think that this is a fitting thing to do for one's significant other, but it probably lead to an inaccurate view of me as a person. Now that we are in the process of becoming friends (we were never just friends before) She is seeing a different side of me. The real me.
I wonder how badly I have misrepresented myself? Was it the wrong thing to do? Or does everyone do this for (to?) their loved ones?

We are different people to our different groups of friends. That is the way it is. We're all chameleons to some degree.
