This is such a [censored] situation. I know she has not meant any malice in this situation, she just didn't know what to do when she started feeling out of love with me. And when she finally responded to me asking, it seems to have been too late.
Now we are both making token efforts in something that was fantastic, amazing and had all the tick boxes to really go the distance but is probably now too far gone to resolve because we both took our foot off the relationship pedal at the same time.
I hate it. Hate it. HATE IT. Such a wasted opportunity.
Reality is that which, if you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.
