Quote: I would feel (as I do) that I am leading half a life.
Let's say you are Ginger Rogers and feel most fulfilled when you are part of a dance team and you are actually dancing. You KNOW you are a great dancer, but you only fully enjoy your own dancing ability when you are partnered. Dancing with Fred Astaire just isn't as fulfilling as dancing alone. So even if you give yourself high marks as a dancer after you have broken up with Fred, the fact is that for you to be fully aware of and in full enjoyment of your dancing ability, you must dance with a well-matched partner.
