LAbug said - I did take comfort in being married, having a partner, a shared history. Those times of doing things we enjoyed together are what I miss most.

Rick said - I really have to think about this as far as what my mindset will be if we R, or if I am in another relationship in the future.

My nature is to love with all my being, hold nothing back from who I love. So, if one is not supposed to think in terms that you have a contract with someone then what? To me, my marriage vow meant that we were one forever, so naturally I held my entire world view that I was both an individual and part of this H/W duo. I don't want to think that the my future relationship is a series of one-day contracts. That it what I think some people here are implying but I could be wrong. I'm a romantic and totally believe in life-long commitment.


Hmmmmm......
