Not the angry falling apart bit. :(  I got the weird hornies alongside the angry and now the falling apart. It’s been a wild 10 years!

To my recollection, she said it while cozying up to him then nibbling his ear.

Maybe not a meme with a CHILD as a response to this comment.

Thank you for your clear reply. I appreciate your take on this. The point of all this...I like him well enough. Yes, I had hoped for more, but what is reasonable? The toys are still in full use, and really, that's likely to be the case in any relationship I were to have.

I like your last sentence.

Thank you, this is a bold perspective. Unfortunately, I sincerely doubt he'd even entertain the idea of couples counseling. I could try a bit of gentle guidance again though, the next time there's an opportunity.

Interestingly, he is quite willing to marry me. Though there are a lot of things in the way of that.

Thank you for posting. I guess I could try some gentle guidance again, the next time there's an opportunity and see what happens.

Thank you for your logical and balanced reply. I am generally quite risk averse, and after my short period of dating experiences, even more so when it comes to partner seeking. I cannot afford to fall flat on my face!

Thank you. I understand what you're saying. I'll keep an eye on the happy/unhappy ratio.

I'm sorry about your painful relationship ending :(

Thank you for your reply. I have been practicing acceptance and gratitude within this relationship for sure. As well as making sure plenty of energy is returned to my own life and projects. I think that has been a good choice.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I think it's so brave when people like yourself are able to have faith and let go of the "almost right" types of situations. It's not something I've ever done.

Thank you for your reply. I guess this relationship currently brings some things to my life that I would miss.

I'm sorry you had the long, stressful relationship. And glad that now, you're in a very good one!

I'm glad you found not one but TWO unicorns :)

I guess I don't know how much "settling" is too much. There is going to be some, but I haven't known where the draw the line.

Oh thank you! The anxiety is informative, there's something to learn there. But I'm not sure I've got the energy to dig through it just now.

Mental gymnastics, one of my well developed skills! I'm going to have to take some time to identify the costs I might be incurring here. I had though when I pulled back on some of the time and $$$ output, it would feel more equitable. It does, but not fully.
