Foreshadowing and Bridging ( Archived) (13)

Foreshadowing and bridging are great for written works of Literature. Foreshadowing is when the author is giving you hints of what is to come but the message is not completely received until you read the end of the work. It is really apparent in "Whodunit" books. Bridging helps to connect paragraphs by putting something into the new paragraph from the prior paragraph. This way the reader is not lost in what the author is trying to accomplish. The new paragraph may be a continuation of a prior thought or idea. Take these two concepts of foreshadowing and bridging into account. Have you got to the point of considering how past relationship might have gradually went bad? At what point to you think the bridge was burned so bad that it was past the point of no return.

Yes, and if you think the bridge got burned so bad that it's past the point of being salvaged.. you're either riding that fine line, or it already is I think.

I agree with that. It can be like the instrument gage oil light turning red. By the time is makes you aware of it the damage has already be done.

Personally, I can't blame you. A divorce can be a good thing if there is nothing to salvage.

I know the feeling, hon...

and, thank GAWD you got out!

Not so sure repair applies to some situations... Something would have had to be in some type of working order to break and be able to repair...

My ex is one, too... He'll have to repair himself... don't think it'll happen. But, that his own story to tell, eh?

Good point. Do you think some throw in the towel in too soon in a match that has no winner? Do you think there should be something instead of, "do death do us part"? Something more realistic.

Good question.

I think if two people intend to make a life together...then, the intention would be for life?

Now, again, in some situations such as violence, and total lack of integrity? No...

There are lines winding among the black and white issues... gray.
That's the area when we decide to take responsibility for ourselves...

I can understand that. At some point it is no longer "us" but "me". I believe the original intention can change. "Me" meaning all that is "mine", of course that being decided by the courts.

Have you ever had the question asked of you, "Do you still love me?" and had to wonder to yourself if you did?
