At least it was early doors in your relationship relatively speaking.
The absolute worst would be being the a girl for a decade or so to find out in your 30's that she is cheating on you.
Then you can't even be young, free, and single anymore because that has passed. You can't even go off the rails because you're most likely to have a settled life.
Whereas now, the world really is your oyster. If you find out that it is still getting to you you down the line you can do whatever you want. Save up some dough and travel the world and make some bad decisions, knowing that all your really doing is creating memories that you will tell the people that matter about when you're older.
I love my girlfriend. And we have been together for 6 years now and know each other longer. But that is my nightmare, discovering my girlfriend is cheating on me when I'm my 30's, and in some boring mid-level office management position with a pot-belly and a receding hairline and all my good friends will be married. In a city that is not my own (I have moved, and no offense to Mancs but your City is shit.)
Nightmare stuff. I could happily quit my job at times when I get wrapped up in that way of thinking and just immediately book a flight and fuck off somewhere for 6 months to a year. That's selfish of course, but ideally you are better off meeting the one when you're already in your 30's.
