LostHorizons42 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 My ex left me over 6 months ago. Three-year relationship. Looking back there were some standard issues--too much work, not enough talking and doing things together ... and so the love dies. Since that time I got myself in great shape, fitting in clothes I couldn't even fit in when I met her. I've been on a few dates, but nothing is the same. Other women only make me miss her more. I know everyone says it takes time. But I guess at 42, and this being the most significant relationship I've ever had, it gets hard to imagine that I would be so close to someone like that again, experiencing that kind of joy. The last time I had such a long relationship like this, after 6 mos. of a breakup, it felt like a huge relief to be with someone new. Or if it was a shorter relationship, I could get past the person in a few weeks. This time, however, there was no relief -- just the resurgence of sadness, a great emptiness. I guess I really loved her after all, and still do. 1
mike.c Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I know what you're feeling. It only hit me later on, I really loved her, but there is no coming back.
