Have you ever dropped a relationship

Erzulie said:
for no apparent reason at all?

I've been told time and time again :rolleyes: that the closer I get to liking someone, liking to spend time with them, the further I pull away. Mostly its because i begin to get a bad feeling about pursuing it. Sometimes its just because... I have no reason at all. I've had less than a handful (2) of relationships that have penetrated my outer core and I actually gave a shit about when it ended.

I'm sure some will say, I'll end up dying a loney ol hag.. but in a way, thats a OK, with me because I have to truely believe in someone to let them fully into my life. If there is one spark of hesitation along the ride than I'm usually out of there quick.

You're alot like my ex-wife Frisk, in that she was the kind of person who brings up the walls as she gets closer to someone. Our marriage was the longest relationship she had ever had, she has always had problems with distancing herself as her feelings for someone became stronger, and she did it for one reason and one reason alone: fear. Fear of risking herself, fear of letting someone really get to know her, fear of losing control.

You see, relationships (and marriage) are alot like a fire: it burns brightest at the start, but unless you keep feeding it the fire will eventually die out. Problem is many people nowadays are afraid to feed the fire for risk of getting burned. Unless you take that risk, and make the effort, you will never keep the fire burning. Sometimes its not easy, sometimes its work, and it always takes effort, but if the fire is that important to you then you have to risk burning your hand now and then.

The question you have to ask yourself is this: do you care about the fire at all, or is it just unimportant to you?

Thank you sugar, very good post.

Enjoy the passion while it is still there, for some that is a day - while for others it is a lifetime...

LOL, yeah that pretty much explains my marriage and subsequent divorce I guess. 7 years of fantastic wonderful bliss followed by a month of emotional breakup hell, followed by a year of my self-pity party wondering what I did wrong. At least now I realize it was never me at all.

Lesson learned, wisdom gained, learned to live and love again and moved on.

But NOTHING beats a hot roaring fire. :evil:

I have my dog, and she loves me unconditionally. She even gets all excited when I get home everyday even though I don't have supper cooked ;)
the thing about dogs is this: they are not coherent to place and time. case in point: if your dog is in the front yard on a leash tied to a tree and you get into your car and leave- drive around the block- and are back in 60 seconds, he or she will be just as excited to see you as if you had been gone a week...so your dog is not a REAL good comparison. but i like dogs.
