The reason why is becuase....unless he dies, God forbid, he will always be around. There is always a chance at reconcilliation.
Quote: Are we just kidding ourselves? A D is final...the decision was made...the X's want to start something new. Are we being stupid to hang on? Do we have low self esteem that we don't think someone else can make us happy? If they really loved us - would they go so far to D? I'm beginning to think that...although I hope it's not true.
I have thought of this a few times and do not agree that we have a low self-esteem problem. It is the fact that we have spent x amount of time with someone we feel is our partner through thick and thin. We don't "know" anyone else. Do we want to? Some may but when the potential of getting that special someone back is a opportunity that may be there no matter where they live, why not hold onto that idea? Yes, we are told to GAL and move on as if they are dead to us but they are only dead to us through M. If we end up finding someone else that fills the void like if the other WAS dead than more power to us.
Like you, I want to believe (As everyone else here) that there is ALWAYS that chance. I do not cling to this thought daily, only if the OPPORTUNITY is there to shine to XW, DBing purposes being the motive.
I still love my XW and probably always will. Starting to ramble and throwing this in a different context but does it make a little sense?
