Have you ever walked away from...???

Have you ever walked away from someone you loved? Why?

 

Yes, because I'm a coward.

 

yes

ps, you didnt answer your own question.

 

yes, he cheated

 

YES...2 guys. came back and then walked out again with both.

 

Yes. Because I didn't want to give up all my other dreams just to be with him.

 

I sure did...........
Sometimes you have to do what is the best for yourself. Even no matter how hard it is to let go..............

I agree with ya all the way DoDaMan.

That's usually what happens until one is no longer single.
The reasons are many... but the result is usually the same.
It's not fun or easy. The regret can linger on. In hind-sight, it's chalked-up as lesson in love.

So here's what I'll call my tripple-xxx approach...
Explore, experience and (if you know it's not right and won't work) exit. Why else would you refer to someone as an "X"?

Here are a couple lyrical passages I'll always be grateful for...

Lady with a Fan

Shadows of a sailor, forming winds both foul and fair all swarm.
Down in carlisle, he loved a lady many years ago.
Here beside him stands a man, a soldier from the looks of him,
Who came through many fights, but lost at love.

Terrapin Station

In the shadow of the moon, terrapin station.
And I know we'll get there soon, terrapin station.
I can't figure out, terrapin, if it's the end or beginning, terrapin,
But the train's put it's brakes on, terrapin,
And the whistle is screaming, terrapin.

At the Siding

While you were gone, these faces filled with darkness.
The obvious was hidden. with nothing to believe in,

Sullen wings of fortune beat like rain.
You're back in terrapin for good or ill again, for good or ill again.

 

Yes, because I kne we were two different lifestyles and goin two different directions...

 

nope, cause i'm not that experienced yet and
nope, because I set no other goals or priorities above my love/relationship. And I hope I never will.

 

Yes, because it never would have worked anyway.

 

Yes, but the hate I had for him by that time far outweighed the love. Why did I walk away? Well, I have several reasons for that. Mostly for the fact I was in a dangerous situation and needed to make a better life for myself.

 

yes. lots of times. i left a guy i cared about because he was an alcoholic, and couldn't get his life together. he's since told me he's quit drinking & wants me back, but i always seem to be running into him at bars. it's been awhile. he should have gotten over me by now.

i've walked away from a lot of people i might have cared about if i had let myself, but was not at the time emotionally ready or able to cope with a relationship. once or twice, i walked away because i was scared.

my husband & i have agreed we need some time apart. currently we can't afford to separate, but i may be walking away from him too, soon. this has dragged on for about a year. it would be easier if we hated each other.

actually, i've come to the conclusion that i just don't do well in relationships, and that serious committment (like marriage) just doesn't work for me. i probably did him an injustice by marrying him. maybe things would have been different if we just kept things open & lived together. at any rate, we probably married for the wrong reasons.

serious relationships and commitment take a lot more than love.
