"Without rules we are nothing but animals".

I have always liked following guidelines and rules that I have added to my life over the years. More than just a simple guide to regulate my moral behavior as an individual or mere guidelines that could even be part of my self-care, I have been quite meticulous with this system of rules, and I like to think that I always try to follow it to the extreme, since when I have failed to comply with some of them, it always leads to an unpleasant situation.
One of the main rules I have set in my life, focusing primarily on romantic relationships, is that when something ends, it ends. No searching for explanations, background, or trying to save something that has already reached a dead end. Despite being a rule I take very personally, I recently broke it. Earlier this year, I gave my all trying to have a healthy relationship with a girl who simply did not have the same intentions. Although it was something that could be said to have been short-lived but intense, I simply decided to end a relationship that was beginning to torment me, because I have always known how to leave on time, and as I said, once I closed the door, it was going to remain closed forever. A couple of months later, this girl reached out to me again, and I agreed to try once more. But as expected, everything ended in the same way, only this time I was carrying much more emotion, which made me go through a tough time and end up practically with my feelings in my hands.
The important thing about this is that I learned a lot, and it reminded me why it is so important to remain faithful to a decision, even when feelings and emotions justify breaking our codes and rules. I would like to be able to say that I would never break my rules again, but I believe that for something to become even stronger, it must break a few times first.
Thank you
