A heartfelt thought

While the "waste" haunts me, the love motivates me. I have been in a very long going nowhere relationship and, while it has had many moments of pain and unfulfillment, I sure would not have traded it for anything. Well, maybe I wouldn't have hung on for quite so long...

Whew! Can I understand that! And yet, for me, I just can't escape ... I can't let it go. Part of what makes my relationship so difficult is that I am an unknown factor to his family. You see, I am white, he is black. My family has no issues with it. His does. So, there we go. He is in the "closet" about our relationship. I, however, am much more accepting. ;) It would be worth it if he loved me, but he doesn't. All I can say is "I wish I knew how to quit ...." him.

Wow, that's heavy! I had no idea, Diane! I had a similar situation, but my relationship ended years ago. It is for the best and I now realize I was never really in love with him. I know this is OT, but funny how people (and I mean myself)say it was not love when the relationship is over. ;)

IMO, time and distance (from a person or situation) can totally change one's perspectives.

Hello littlewing, Larz and Diane, langorene, and anyone else I may have inadvertently given the 'cold shoulder'.
I'm slowly learning to find my way about bettermost, but it's a slow process!
Using 'search' to track down my own entries has led me to your very kind and helpful entries after my rather bitter tirade, over a month ago! I greatly appreciate and largely agree with your very kind supportive comments. The notable exception would be the possibolity this late, of my finding 'someone.' Unless he's a dead ringer for Ennis and Johhny Depp I would probably give him the cold shoulder
Sorry to be so long replying, it's simply 'cos I'm lost in this wonderful site.
for example I've not yet dared try to 'attach' a quote to a reply. I tried reading the instructions, but the alternatives and provisos 'did my head in'.
I want to be spieling to you lovely interesting people, not wasting time ('Never enough time!) studying!. I'm not really ranting at the organization, but we're not all computer buffs. In my case I'm an ageing English wrinkly with an absolute passion for ole Brokeback, that I don't want to quit! ::)
Oh! and while I'm grumping, I wish too we all signed our entries, some do, but not all; it personalises our entry so much better than a 'user name'. I don't want phone numbers by the way, just a name (even an invented one)would be nice!
There, I've got all that off my chest, and do feel so much better! :laugh:
Very Best Wishes all
:)
