It would be just kind of nice, if the person that you once admired and fell in love with, had the compassion and the courage to tell you why they did what they did, in particular, as the rejected suitor, took the trouble, time and expense to visit them in far away places, with talk of marriage and settlement in domestic bliss, in the mountains of Wales, of which, I unashamably admit, bring tears to my eyes.

Where no indication was given as to the eventual outcome. Even to the point of receiving loving emails a day before the departure of yet another meeting at another venue.

Closure is what is sought in these circumstances, regardless of the reasons..........I have asked, but have not received?....Perhaps this gentle reminder will serve as a reference point for your future conduct in terms of:---Dogs and men...the former being my preference, as his love is unconditional and without judgement. hug

You may also reflect upon your religious convictions, I have no formal faith, but rely upon the humanitarian values of those around me, Who I love and care for.

Its true, you need to know to find out the why's, how comes before you feel you can close that chapter of your life. Was it you? Was it circumstance.. you just should know.

Welsh .... as someone recently told me "sometimes you'll never have the answer" ... so what I did was realize that it was their issue not mine and learn to move on. Does it still hurt - yes, without a doubt - but I'll get over it.

I'm sorry this had to happen - but this obviously is a person who needs to start being truthful with themselves and those around them.

Thank you, I think that is a very rational way to look at the situation, and yes, I think you are also right, in that, I am unlikely to recieve an explanation...

It's happened to me before, never got an answer, and felt so lost in despair and not being able to understand why it happened. Was it me? Did I say or do something wrong?
The answer never came, but eventually, over time the answer became less important for me to know. I simply had to accept it, and move on, and tell myself that it just wasn't meant to be.
It's not like you can flip a switch and make the pain go away. That takes time, but just remember, with each day it the pain lessens.
I hope you get the closure you seek, but if not, just stay strong and don't let this leave you bitter and afraid to love again.
Easier said than done.

Best of luck to you and *hugs*

I think LangleyGirl and DinaD have both made good posts.

Sh#t happens to all of us at some point in our lives and we never find out the reasons behind it.

Waste of time and emotion tormenting ourselves with something we are never going to find the answers to.

Leave it behind you and concentrate on moving on, it's the only way to be able to move forward without carrying excess baggage with you

It is, I would love to apologise for my behaviour in the first instance, on the first occaision, when I banned myself over this issue.

I have learned my lesson well and very much hope that the moderators will accept my apologies and allow me to post a photograph together with a suitably modified profile. If not, such is life.

I was trying to figure out why I liked this Welshman1 character - and he seemed to know me.

It's truly great to have you back Geoff. cheers

Closure was never part of the contract of being born, and we only wound ourselves by expecting it.

There is no certainty in life other than where the road ends...that is the only closure we are gauranteed...
