Thanks Kat and Wii. I do know that this too shall pass - however the process of getting there is just going to really be painful. That is the cost of investing myself emotionally into someone though and it certainly won't keep me from dipping my toe back into the water at a later date.
What is frustrating is that we really seemed like a good fit. Similar interests, goals and lifestyles, well liked by each other's kids and friends. I really thought this R had some legs to it and was completely caught off guard with the result. It is as if she flipped a switch from "on" to "off" regarding her involvement in the relationship. I need to stop trying to analyze what went wrong though, as that tends to drive me a bit crazy, and just get back to GAL without a companion for awhile.
Wii - sorry you are going through something similar with SDA lady. Regardless of who calls the R off, I do know it hurts and is sad for both people.
