Am I being naive?

She called yesterday after months and we talked for 3.5 hours.

There were apologies in both directions. It felt like she meant what she said.

Now I’m all kinds of conflicted.
But I walked away from it by saying that I wasn’t asking for repair or to get back together.
I told her that all I want is for her to be happy and find what she’s looking for.

She said she was still in love with me and there’s never been anyone else.

Yes.

I don’t think you’re being naive, and I’m glad you had a good discussion, that you got some closure. I’d probably tread carefully. I’d be too scared of having my heart broken again. But that’s me, not you.

@ChampagneOnIce we basically left as an agreement to not hate each other and offer each other a form of universal forgiveness.

I feel like there’s more answers I want but don’t necessarily need. I imagine she feels much the same.
But perhaps those conversations would only cause hard feelings?

I’m content with where we’re at right now, though I am awash in all kinds of varied feelings. One of which is a love that hasn’t simply died. It’s changed.

@HikingMan I understand that all too well. Still, I'm glad she reached out, and you cleared the air a bit.

@ChampagneOnIce thank you.
Me too.

Naive? No, I wouldn't say that. Why would you say that, because you believed it?
I don't know the whole situation, but why couldn't it be taken at face value. Seems you had a good long discussion, must have meant something.

@Magenta it was a very long talk and covered a lot of topics. I was much more steadfast than I was when we were in the relationship. There was some clarity and a little bit of closure that I hadn’t expected.

I have no idea where things will go from here but I made no promises or claims about the future.

I told her that I wouldn’t be reaching out but would answer if she decided to.

@Magenta but yes, because I believe she was being honest and that I’d like to take it all at face value.
