As of right now, I am committed to accepting the way things are and moving forward with or without my ex...though ultimately I would prefer "with".
I may take some flack for this...but here goes:
I ended up sending a response to my ex's earlier message after thinking long and hard about it. Heres what I wrote:
"You know ultimately what Id prefer happen, but I'm startign to see and understand your point of view and feelings. A different approach might bring peace and happiness to what could otherwise be a hurtful situation. Instead of seriousness, we could focus on making the most of things and having fun. Instead of who's wrong or right and what shaould have been but wasnt, we could focus on acceptance and what is. If we focus on the present and take things one day at a time, we can look back on this and know we at least made the effort and there will be no hard feelings or doubt. No promises, no expectations, no worried, just enjoying life and being there for Kaylee in whatever capacity she needs us as cooperative parents...and at the end of the day if we can be there for each other as more than friends, fantastic. If however, we can only be there for each other as best friends, we'll still be better people for it. After all, the best part of any relationship is the strong friendship on which it is based...and I long to find my friend again. It's up to you."
