misswillow Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I am reading "More, Now, and Again" by Elizabeth Wurtzel about her struggles with addiction (I like to read things like this, especially when I'm unhappy). Anyway, she had an affair with a married man that ended. When they met for the last time and said goodbye (although he implied that he may decide to leave his wife and come back to her), she wrote, "I never saw him or talked to him again. Not because I didn't love him, but because I did." My BU was not with a married man, but this really hit home for me. The fact that I love him so much is the reason why I can't have anything to do with him anymore. It's very sad to finally comprehend this, but contact with him can only cause me pain. 2
youngnlove89 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 "I never saw him or talked to him again. Not because I didn't love him, but because I did." Beautiful! So true. Letting someone go means we love them enough to accept that we can't be with them, but will continue to have their best interest at heart and respect their decision to move on, even if it without us. Soul-shattering pain we will endure for the sake of love.
