Everyone meets for a reason, has anyone ever figured out what your reason was?

I've been doing alot of thinking about this. My ex and I kept this on and off thing for years, 28 to be exact as I've said before.

 

As for when we were younger I think we both liked the excitement of how dangerous our relationship was and I think we both liked playing with fire. That was when we were younger though.

 

I think now that I she and I connected again were for 2 reasons.

 

1.) She came into my life to help my with the intense pain from the death of my Wife. She succeeded in doing that. Although I still feel pangs on pain and have rough days every now and then. My grief is not near what it used to be.

 

2.) I think she also came into my life to help me finally quit being a man child ( since I obviously couldn't figure it out on my own ) lol. I do believe she left me a far better man than the condition she came back into my life as.

 

It brings me alot of peace knowing or believeing those are the reason's she came back in. I also think it helps moving on understanding that those were the reason's and once she accomplished them it was time for us to move on...alone, without each other.

 

This break-up has not been all bad. It the beginning it was, but over time so many things have come to light and I have learned more about myself than any other time in my life that I can't help be be grateful I was with her over the years.

 

Anyone else ever figure out why or a reason that you met your ex?

 

I really think it adds clarity to a painful, confusing time. it takes awhile to become aware of a reason but they are there and in my case at least it's brought alot of peace.
