So?
You would have thrown her over if it was too tough?
No one would've "thrown" over anyone.
If we tried and tried as hard as we could, and it just wasn't working out, we would've mutually parted.
If it worked alright but we just didn't feel totally ready, we would've agreed that we both just need more time to mature and prepare ourselves. It wasn't about whether or not we should stay monogamous to each other or anything, just about being ready to cohabitate together all the time. Some people *do* have different reactions to being with someone periodically as opposed to all the time. We were testing ourselves.
