Re:
Hello Spiderfly - well, he does and doesn't exist... I believe he knows how I feel, and he does know that I care. I am worried about his health, and I won't stop reaching out when I have the strength.

Re:
It comes and goes, Merkie... when I was married I used to find my husband's antics dominating my daily thoughts too.  It would be nice to have my head back for my own use..!

One thing he can't have, Naut, is both his new partner and my friendship.  It's a question of my self-preservation.  Forgiveness doesn't extend to continually setting yourself up to be hurt again.

Peas in a pod then Naut... this is why I can't throw something at him, which is what I feel like doing.

I have to say this in response to the last sentence in your answer to Sam - this man strikes me as one who had made up his mind you were not for him long before he told you, but couldn't bring himself to tell you because he's too nice...

Re:
It's still giving me the impulse to write poetry though sam :)  It isn't a question of moving forward, it's just that there is no place to go quite yet.  I'm nowhere ready for another relationship, and as I walked in this morning I wanted to tell him that I don't deserve to be on my own, and that I'm on my own because he didn't want me any  more after all I had been through in order to be with him.  My counsellor felt I still needed to confront him; that's not possible when he won't be able to see the problem and what the effects have been on me.  I know he still cares; he just made decisions that suited his needs, and he didn't stop to think through what this would do to me.  If I was so 'not' what he wanted, why be with me this long at all?

If you could move forward life would be so much better! Best wishes! You do pour your heart out, though! sam

Most of us just keep on caring- maybe there is no off switch. I hope all is well!

a soul full of emotions.  If he exists then I hope he knows and dont ever feel sorry for caring.
