Once you draw the line: up to here and no further!
Then it becomes sweet, because all those trials and efforts you put into this relationship has been tried and implemented.
Once you come to the conclusion: I tried, but it has started to take away from Me more than it should!
Then it becomes sweet, because you have made up your mind.
Once you act upon your decision: I wish you well, sweet love... I am not angry at you... I understand... but time has come! 🙂
Then it becomes bitter, because you wanted it to continue, you have your memories and emotions tucked behind, and NEVER do I regret for taking such step.
I learned now. He let me closer to him this time. I made no mistakes. My initial intuition about him, has been proven once again.
*He doesn't want to be alone, but he prefers to be alone✨
thank you very much for your heartfelt words. It helps me to feel less weight off my conscience. Not that I should feel guilt, but there is a point, if you start feeling used, because you don't hear words of appreciation or any compassion to WHY you would do things for someone so freely without asking anything in return except for some recognition, then there is probably that one needs to change.
You are very right... unfortunately some don't realize what they had until they lose it. For the giver it is not to fall back into same routine if things went on for too long without that recognition. Take and give is to stay in balance... as selfish as it sounds. Not that I expected return, but it kind of gives you a clue of how much the other person cares for you in return...
He called me yesterday... asking a number of times how I am doing.
It is easy to fall back into same routine, but I decided that it is HIS turn now if things are to continue or develop. I am not going to move my finger until I see fit to do so.
He has still a ways to go, and if he feels he is not up to, then I'm not up to either. Good feeling to remember the standards one puts on their own worth.
Thank you again 🙂 I felt understood,... your words helped a lot 😄
Cap or whatever...
I thought about his actions and decided that it cannot continue.
Everyone deserves a second chance. Don't know who invented this saying, but I think, second chances are not deserved ... for they hurt the giver.
one more lesson learned 🙂
