|
|
| My partner and I have a very solid relationship on one level, and the sex is good when it happens, but every now and then he goes through these periods when he pushes me away, and this time I'm letting him do it. I'll always be his friend, and I'll be there if he needs me for anything important, but I think it's time to let go of anything more and get out into the world and find someone who wants a more committed relationship. The hard part is getting out there and finding someone--I live in a village and there are no single men my age around. *sigh* |

I hope that goes well for you QuietLunatic. It sounds to me like you're probably doing the right thing.
Have you used the net much for socializing? I know of some people who've met interesting folks online. _________________ http://this-twisted-history.blogspot.com/ |

| For a great number of people, letting go can be difficult. It requires a lot of discipline as well as maturity which is lacking in many, sadly |

| I'm proud of you QL for doing such thing. If I'm on your shoes, I think I can't let him go. I'll fight for the man I love no matter what will happen. Do you think I'm weird? |

No, I don't think you're weird, Myca. The thing is, he's done this sort of thing before and I let it slide, and I've been letting him do this for years now and it's time to put an end to it. If he doesn't care enough to be good to me all the time, and he can just not call for weeks on end, then there's no point in my trying to keep a relationship alive when it's obvious it doesn't mean anything to him. I love him a lot, but I deserve better treatment and I'm not going to get it from him. It's been two weeks now since he agreed to come over and watch a movie and the last thing he said was, "I'll call you." Well he never turned up for the movie and he hasn't called, and I decided I'm not going to be the one to call him first. If I mean anything to him, he'll call--and he hasn't, so therefore, he's been using me for what I can do for him, and I'm done doing. Besides, with 500 people at the new job, maybe I'll meet someone there--male or female--I'm open to good people.  |
