What to do...

I need to end a go nowhere relationship, and I really don't know what I'll do without him. The thought of not having him in my life makes me a little sick, but intellectually, I know it's the only thing I can do. I want a real relationship and a firm committment, he is happy with things the way they are. Yes, breaking up is hard to do, but is there anything to do to ease the pain until time does it?

Well...I can't remember who wrote it...but it goes something like this...

I've got to harden my heart,
Swallow my tears,
Turn...and walk away.

If that's the one...Sorry!

I know...we all need to lighten up a little. All this agony and heartbreak doesn't really put a positive spin on moving forward, does it? There MUST be some good things about being without that ONE AND ONLY!! Aka...Mr. Right Now. LOL

Yep, that's Quarterflash, alright! I used to sing that song in my cabaret act in NYC *years* ago, LOL!

btw, I re-read your post and you mentioned uprooting your kids (11 and 8). My parents moved me out-of-state when I was about 10 yrs old (and again in my senior year of high school.. different story) and I turned out ok...I think ;) I remember when I was 10, my mom just kept saying "this will make you more well-rounded". I had no idea what that meant at the time, but now I look back and thank them-- I don't know if I could've grown up and spent my entire life in the same small town now that I know what else is out there.

Just my 2 cents... now carry on with your Quarterflash lyrics...

I have never lived more than fifty miles from the little SD town I was born in...I'm 48 years old, and a virgin at travel!! Maybe it's time to broaden my horizons!!
