In reply to the discussion: Advice wanted for great relationship... gone... [View all]ClusterFreak
(3,112 posts)...and realized it's time to stop posting about this. It's been a great exercise in catharsis, in having others offer me their advice, and I have appreciated it greatly. I have benefitted from everyone's point of view, and am incorporating much of what has been shared with me into my thinking going forward. I realize I have been kind of all over the place as of late in regards to what I might do, I think it's just part of my grieving, healing and moving on. The more that time goes on, the more I am accepting things. So I make no promises as to what if anything I might actually do going forward. I think the best course of action is to just live my life, and to commit to that as opposed to trying to manufacture an outcome more to my liking. I rule nothing out, but am making no plans to do anything at all. It seems to me that the best possible outcome when you lose a cherished relationship, is that if it comes back to you it's without any plotting or planning on your part. That way you can honestly assess whether it's something you still want, or not, because you've moved on. So moving on is key. You might want to go back, you might want to keep moving. But you gotta keep living.
Cheers, all!!
