Thriller

Wow. This thread is hitting home. Just recently my ex and I have parted ways. In retrospect his life is a sh*tshow. Too long to go into detail, but just know he has so much going on his life that he can't be there for me the way I deserve. I am hopeful for a reconciliation down the road but he needs this time to work on himself and I am going to take the time myself to heal and in the end this should be WIN/WIN. Either we find our way back to each other if it's still there, and the relationship will be stronger or I will have found my peace and am in a better place and have attracted another great partner. I have no regrets, none. I was pretty graceful in the breakup, indeed I was upset. I would've done anything for him but all the stuff that is going on is bigger than me. After a few days I wrote him and truly wished him the best, and that I understand and respect what he needs to do now and that I will always be there for him and his son (we were very close). He called the next day thanking me for a wonderful email and all that, he invited me to his place that night to talk some more. He was very attentive, doing all the right things with my favorite wine, candles, showing attention. We did spend the night together and it was a great evening. It was like old times before all the stresses, we laughed easily, talked easily and he was opening up. The next day when I left I told him I know that this doesn't change anything but at the very least I am glad we're talking. Wished him well and said see ya later. I'm hopeful, but again I know it'll take time and I am committed to healing myself above anything else. Hope this helps. I do feel it is important that you put yourself first during times like this. It is tough, I am having ok days and low days...but it'll get better. I know it will.
