Second Chances?

Gráinne · 07-05-2011, 01:09 PM

I've learned through many years on the planet that fear of losing someone else's "love" is never so great as the fear of losing myself in the wrong relationship.

I'm just mean and tough in my old(er) age. I set the bar high; miss it, and I'm out of there. Life's just too short.

ETA: That said, if it's your partner asking for time and space, all you can do is give it.

I'm trying very hard to give her time and space. I know that I made a mistake, but I also know that we both love each other very much, and she jumped on the idea of us being friends because she was crying and torn between ending it and giving it another chance. Friendship is a safe landing ground for her to breathe, yeah?
