THE SHOW MUST GO ON #4

[forward]

Trusting,
I have had to take a long, hard look at my feelings towards X. But I have accepted that he is a stranger now. They have gone off and done things without us. Think how you've changed. You might not find him attractive any more. And if you do, why? What compels you to this person who treated you so badly?

I understand your feelings. On ocassion, I have a pang, and think about how things might have been. But I guess at this point I take it for what it is: a pang. Unlike you, I didn't get a heartfelt apology or any sort of indication that he has thought about me for a nanosecond. So I know that would be hard. But...maybe it's time to stop being strung along.

Give the new guy a chance. Don't miss out on a wonderful opportunity. Let X go.

I can tell you that my R w/New Guy has been warm and funny and loving. He is a good guy and I feel fortunate that I met him. It is a very different R than the one that I had with X. And one of the things I have realized is that X was pretty lacking in a lot of the areas where New Guy comes through with flying colors.
