You are breaking my heart here Portia. "In terms of reconciling, it only becomes the LBS' choice when OR IF the MLCer comes back. The choice that is 100% the LBS' choice is to live life and move forward or remain stuck. I choose forward, even if I feel like a snail - and not that turbo charged one in the new Pixar movie, either!"
But of course that's true. We can stand all we want, all we are able, but ultimately if the MLCers never decide to return to us, it's all in vain. Except...that we will have done so much work on ourselves that we are fabulous And ready for round 2 with someone else. Moving forward with our lives like a snail!
You my dear, are that sleek, elegant cat! When you are ready, you will be a fabulous catch. I still think your SO will come back to you, but you might not want him by then
