I think sometimes (or most times) we stay in a relation where one act an energy vampire instead of stepping out of it.
In my case we were in two different stages of life, me in my career her in her beginning of one. My input did not help her get going with hers, and she would have suffered a life time for investing her energy in keeping me going. To realise this hurts and I had to step off that love train.
Disaster? Failure? Looser? Well, the words have been flashing in my mind, but I do not believe that. I know what I once built with my hands. And I know I was good to her and I enjoyed being it.
It is just, that sometimes you find yourself simply wrong - I did, and it is what scares me. I have touched the earth, dug my toes into it, felt the cooler soil with under. I have loved and still do. I liked being loved. But it was the love I think that made me walk.
We all come back, too many proofs of that. Possibly even a stronger, wiser person, one to avoid becoming such a danger of ruin things, avoid letting our naked skin be just that bit too naked.
There must be a limit to trust and dependence, where we force our self to add a bit of strength. Living alone was never hard, relations was. When I decided to invest all of my self, I failed keeping the strength I had as a single. In here I think lays my mistake, I am still exploring the true nature of loosing my confidence in my self, but I feel close to it. Simple slapsticks does not sort this out, it takes its time.
But not socialising with people is not the way out.
