How is it that with a simple sentence someone can make you crumble?
—You're the only woman I can talk to for over an hour and still want to keep talking to??
^ This is from my Leo ex a day ago and its driving me insane!
Misogynistic overtone aside, this breaks my heart a little more as ^^this^^ is what I want- the connection .
I could care less about his looks, what he earns, taste in music??_ What I need is to believe that we will be sitting on the porch in 40 years time and still have something to talk about.

This is the man who tells me I'm stupefyingly intelligent??_ Who reads me a Robert Browning poem and we then discuss the underlying elements of love, possession and death??_ can use dichotomy in a sentence??_ Argues with me, and resorts to google to prove when the first union came about- and admits I was right 😉??_ posts on FB the words I have —taught?? him??_ tells me I am gooey on the inside and that he threw what we had away??_ has a biography of stalin beside a book on bansky.

Goddamn the man. Why does he not realise that if this took him 36 years to find in the first place you should hold onto it?!

Sigh??_ I'm just ranting at the unfairness of it all. I will not ever disclose the way this affected me to this man. He made his choice and does not deserve my vulnerability, has not earned the right to see my inner turmoil. And I know this is just dangling the string to see if he still has me on the hook. But still, curse it all.
So. Damn. Close. To imperfectly perfect.

Thanks guys, I'm just posting to get this out of my head really.

It's been a couple of months and I'm well on the way to getting over this guy, but its just so bittersweet when something you see as precious/ unique/ incredible is so carelessly given away... For him to recognize that and still have made the decision he did makes me both sad and angry...

But that's life I guess?!

I do think it will happen for you Tw1nk1e...

During the relationship my ex and I were circling each other like alley cats- both afraid to let go, and truely commit to each other, worried about getting hurt etc- I think that is only now that we don't have the pressure that we can honestly see what might've been. But that is sadly too late for us.
What we can do is bring a bit more honesty to our next relationships and hope for the best.

I also agree with what Seraph said about yearning vs. true feelings and VS about the nostalgia aspects when we are alone... The truth of a relationship gets a little skewed- so where you say everything feels like a lie, flip that round- your memory is the lie- the reality is in front of you, and you can ONLY live in the present. Or try not to compare... I need more coffee?!

It's just a prelude to something much more wonderful, beautiful and pure.

Trust that.

I can attest to it, personally. 🙂

Yes. ^This^

And you'll know that it's possible-- so you won't settle for less in the future.

That, I think, is part of the purpose.

(It better be.) 😉
