I woke up today heartbroken

[OAITW r.2.0]

27. I can relate to your situation.

I broke up with the love of my life in July, this year. We had been together for over 10 years. When my marriage broke up in 2011, we reconnected after a 30 year hiatus, She was taking care of her mom and her daughters were living out of state. She was lonely, as I was, and the flame was quickly rekindled.

But daughters eventually returned, she became a grandmother3 times over. In the meantime my ex passed away and I had to move back to my place in Central Maine - place needed a lot of work and upgrades. And I needed to reconnect with my own kids as we had drifted apart for way too long. I had hoped that we'd find a common ground where we would stay 3 months at my place, then 3 months at her place, But, she is a city person and never really liked the rural lifestyle.

By July, it was obvious that she had moved on. ....so it goes. We still talk occasionally, but I realized that it was pretty much over. Still love her and have nothing but great memories of my time with her. I'm OK with my lot in life....no regrets and I truly wish her the very best with her.

C'est la vie.
