There are very few who felt it worth trying to salvage, and those who did think it worth trying have now agreed it’s time to move on.

When friends and family say they knew she was done yrs ago, shows how blind some of us are to our R,

I don’t think I was a great H, and know I gave her issues for trusting me. I also know when we discussed the issues, she didn’t engage much at all. I thought the issues were resolved but hindsight now shows she never got over any issues and hence had serious consequences on our M and intimacy.

With that said, I do think I was an above H in trying to show her my love and affection. It fell on deft ears and I kept trying with minimum feedback. Can’t be one way. Both conversations and affection. I often thought how I never saw her parents show affection in front of me over a 20 yr span. Could she be a product of her environment? Lessons learned.

All I know is this old dog will need to use these lessons learned moving into the future should I ever want another R.

Definitely not on my radar at this time although I wonder what a reciprocal relationship would be like.

Hard to hold back the emotions.....
