I am going to try to put into words a theory but I hope it makes sense.

You are asking a very important question about matters of the heart at a time when you are impaired- you are hurting, you are sad, and possibly afraid. Therefore, your judgment is skewed. It is difficult to answer this question for yourself right now because you don't have enough distance from the pain in order to rationally come to an answer.

 

It is like drinking and driving- since it isn't against the law to drink and drive- it is against the law to drive if you are impaired (blood alcohol at a certain level) well it is a fact that alcohol impairs judgment- one or three drinks may not make an individual "over the legal limit" but it still will impair them (even if it is slightly) so the individual has to make a decision about driving when he is already impaired.

 

It is the same with you- I know that didn't come out 100% like I meant it- You are trying to make a decision about your heart when it is impaired.

 

You will find love again if you allow yourself to go through the yo-yo emotions of grief, regret, sadness, dispair, anger. They are all normal and lets just all agree that it sucks. Don't loose hope- just as prior to this break up you found someone- you can find someone again.

 

Hope that it helps- we are hear to listen so vent anytime.

Thanks all. You know I think I just had a really bad day that day. In fact I caught myself smiling on my walk to work this morning. It's been a long time since that happened. :)

Thanks, that's my baby Pixie. She loves chillin in the sink and playing in the tub. She's weird. I have another one, Dusty, that I'll post a picture of soon.

Yeah, one of mine is like that... no-one seems to have told her that cats don't like water :)
