All relationships are meaningful. The fact that a relationship doesn’t mean much is itself meaningful.
I’ve had friendships, acquaintances, loves come and go and stay in life. Each one has added to my understanding of myself and others. Some of the most intense and short-lived relationships have had the most meaning.
I don’t think you can judge the meaningfulness of a relationship until you understand how it has affected you. With every relationship you grow in some dimension. And sometimes you don’t see the reward or the missed opportunity until it is over.
That said, I find the most growth and reward comes when I am honest with my feelings, even if my feeling tell me that the relationship should end.
