sao2 Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 So my ex and I were sort of holding on to each other for the last 2 years since we broke up. By all accounts neither one of us really moved on. About 6 weeks ago we tried a reconciliation but we were unable to agree about what a relationship should reasonably be. She is not a bad person, I am not a bad person, it is just that our ideas about what a relationship should be are conflicting. Anyways, since our failed reconciliation, it has been better. Not because I am angrier with her, although I am. But because my last bit of hope that she would come back is gone. I now understand that she is never coming back, and if she did come back, we would have the same issues as before. It would take a radical shift in her viewpoint for her to be able to offer me anything even approaching a satisfying relationship. Once that hope left, I feel more free. She is still out there and we had some great times. But when I look to the future I no longer have to compare people with her. She is just simply, not an option.
