I actually met him here. We got very close and we talking about moving in together. He was a professional just like I was. he traveled and I traveled and we were in such different lifestyles. He was a real sweet heart and I do miss talking to him. He was so special.. One morning I woke up and realized it was just not going to work. I knew the longer I put it off, the harder it was going to be because we did have feelings.
I have moved on and I really hope he has. He is a really nice person. I wish him the best. crying

yes. an ex partner. he needed to search the world.

better for him to go and spread his wings, than for me to be selfish and think of my needs.

would never do that to a person i loved.

isnt love about sometimes about certain sacrifices?



great thread sassye

Yeah. I had a boyfriend a long time ago. We couldn't stop wabooming but we couldn't get along either. We were like two little babies hitting each other with bottles.

If you would be standing between someone and what they want/need to do it is best to let them go. On the same hand I would not want someone to stand in the way of my dreams. My ex. tried to do this with me and I figured it was better to divorce him then to do time in prison. He wasn't worth killing. grin

Lol, I no the feeling. Sounds funny now but is truly difficult to let go of someone u in love with and have feelings for sigh but when u no in your heart its time to let go, u find the courage and move on for both your sakes hug
U tempted to turn around & say noooo come back, I made a mistake doh but stick to your convictions as u cld truly end up in jail if u didn't help

Unfortunately a reality in life is, that no matter how much u love someone when there are more tears than joy then u need to say your goodbyes comfort
I think as u grow older, u know that u deserve the best, so hanging on to the believe that love conquers all doesn't quite cut it anymore dunno

Yes,

This would fall into the category of "unconditional Love"
Most people, and I mean this politely, will never know
this feeling.

I make it a habit to never stray to far from cause and effect.
Some lovers are much better off to break up even though they love
each other dearly.

Speaking through example, do you really think that you pet
lizard enjoys his cage much more that the beach it came from?
