Have you ever been excited and looking forward to something only to have your hopes dashed?

Yes. A few year ago, I canceled my trip to see my (now ex) long distance girlfriend 2 weeks before my flight. I had no choice but to break up with her because she withheld crucial information to the last minute. After cancelling, I immediately rebooked to another and more beautiful destination.
I'm glad I canceled that trip and got out of that toxic relationship. Life is much better now.
Why, was she in another relationship at the same time?
@daniela1982 It's a long story and I'll be leaving a lot of details, but no it's not some other guy that's in the picture. It was rather a mountain of reasons of why I should just end it that overshadowed the reasons that I should stay. A big chunk of it had to do with her racist family getting in our way, trying to hook her up with some other dude of her race, destroying our plans and lied about allowing her to visit me on future trips (they expect ME to do all the visiting). My ex herself also said certian things she said that showed that the relationship wasn't a priority to her. 1 of the things is wanting to ditch our plans of seeing each other again for a job at some hotel (for fun). While during the entire relationship all you hear are things like "I wish I could hold you now", but when that time comes, she ditches that opportunity 🤷. What makes it funny is that she never applied for that job and still was willing to ditch our plans for it. It's her family that has been a huge problem (well mostly her mom). I was dealing with her family's racism from the very beginning and them killing our plans was the straw that broke the camel's back. I knew visiting her would not mean anything since I'd be. So I rather not invest my emotions, mental sanity and money on a relationship without a future. So I made some memories elsewhere and without her. Now that I got 2 other relationships under my belt, I can clearly see I was dealing with a toxic family and relationship. No wonder my family pressured me to break it off. I have 0 regret doing so. I'm now in a relationship with a loving girl who also has a loving family who have accepted me as part of their family (they live 15 minutes away).
Was looking forward to taking a nice vacation every year since I retired, but this year that was shot in the behind!
Why? Was it because of COVID? That does seem to make things difficult.
It was a trip to Colorado for 9 days. Trip was canceled by the travel agent because of covid. Maybe next year? Glad I went to Alaska the year before. 18 days of wonderful sights and fun!
Thank you for the MHO!
