JLMCOLUMBIA Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Audrey20 asked (February 2005) for suggestions about how to give up hope on someone you love. She wrote: "Is it really possible to move on when you know that you will not be with the true love of your life? I can not imagine that I could ever be happy with anyone else." Continuing in a later paragraph she adds: "I wonder if I am sick and playing the martyr role or if this could really, truly be how love is." I too love a man so much I think my heart will explode when I think about him. I admire, respect, believe in, listen to - basically I would trust my life in his hands, no questions asked. Although I've "moved on" several times over the past 30 years, he is still as much my best friend now as he was when we first met. Do I believe he is my soul mate? Absolutely. Did he ever love me in return? Yes, truly believe so. However our paths have taken different directions again. I would give up my life (as I currently know it, sell my home/possessions and move back to where he is) if I thought it would make a difference - that I could spend every remaining day that I'm still alive with him. I'm not stupid or being mislead. He has always been upfront in stating his position. I only know what my heart wants. Am I destined to live the remainder of my days hoping he will finally want to be with me as much as I want to be with him? (Feel free to whap me upside the head if I'm being ridiculous.)
