“Love” and settling even if you don’t realize it
Ever notice that?Like being in love makes certain shortcomings seem unimportant. Love seems to eclipse flaws in a coupling
Only after a relationship is over do we notice things that we wouldn’t tolerate from those we “like”.
I can’t be the only one who wakes up alone and finds it so much less depressing than being with a parasite.
“Love” brainwashes, making us compromise our better judgement. There is no judgement while in “ Love”. This leads me to understand it wasn’t love at all.
Then we must figure out , what is real love?
And then thoughts like: the sex wasn’t that great after all. Maybe that’s why I thought I was frigid.
Then you see your ex with someone else and think how could it last? Are there others more patient than I? Is that possible?
And I see how easily the ex goes from interest to interest with no shortage of fools
Now I think I won’t put any thought or energy into the idea of love. Decisions made under the influence of such a mistaken state of mind have left me lost.
What I thought I knew, I do not. Now I prefer to remain single with good sex. Waking up alone, unconcerned with an other’s mental problems gives me such peace.
My boat rests in still waters after being tossed about, almost capsizing. The source of the storm is gone. Wreckage to follow on other seas

I can always count on you
Sigh. My reliable colleague told me to stop wallowing and gave a bag of dvd’s to watch. Lol
I have 2 days off
I wouldn't put up with a parasite, as you called it. That's a major negative.
But minor things, definitely.
Real love is really a gift.
Real love is really rare.
Real love is really forever.
Real love is also walking away
when it is one-sided.
Real love is never diminished.
it has potential to be life changing.

Like you say Palm...it's a lot easier to think about all the flaws and negative things about our ex than the positive.
But...at the end of the day...good memories carry as much energy as the bad ones.
