I just wonder if somtimes we are missing a trick in that 'a fully fledged Romantic relationship ' was what it was meant to be @ Lady Grace touches on that point. Yes we felt at home with them .
But the story didnt have to end there. From my own personal experience i was married for 18yrs ..now divorced 7 years. If anyone had said to me at the time my divorcing him. Once the dust had settled you both remain very good friends.
I would have thought ' thats a bloody good joke' yet that is actually what ..my ex went on to remarry ..so did I yet we retaining our relationship as friends.
I wonder how many lost lovers had even considered remaining in each others lives. In a lovely but non romantic way?
I suspect not many. .. and thats why there is rarely any closure.
See losing a lost love ..can be on par with losing a lifetime friend 🧡
Just ' maybe before drawing a line more couples should have a conversation around retaining companionship as opposed to a anything else.
Just a week or so back I spoke briefly with the man i had loved, & of course all the usual..where it might have been years , but felt like yesterday. Was present , but more than that there was this overwhelming feeling, that when we said goodbye.. i was going to miss his company..again 😪
The last time we were in company shared a bottle of ' whisky' didnt get paralytic.. just talked. Thats what I miss about him .
Still.. I'm pretty certain its the same for others . Relegating ' past loves to an uptodate friendship.. might be the trick we are all missing. 🤷
