How do you walk away when their presence makes you undeniably happy.

Ex wants to be friends, as do I. We talk every day, but the failed romance still eats away at me from time to time.

Is there a chance you're just focusing on the good and not the bad?

@SW-User I do tend to forgive many of his faults. I have to intentionally focus on the bad in order to keep the mindset of moving forward.

@EveReverie That's why its hard to walk away. You're immortalising him by denying yourself the full picture, and why you failed to start with.

@SW-User you're not wrong 😔

@EveReverie I'm familiar with the concept. :) And we self sabotage ourselves, by clinging on to something that didn't really make us as happy as we believe.
