'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Well, it's a bit of an old cliche' and I think a more contemporary cliche' might look like:

"Tis better to have loved while fucking than to never have fucked at all."
Quote: by Me ... maybe .. who knows.

More to your question: I have no regrets on either loving or leaving - just a lot of hot stories.

Good answer. It's amazing what you can learn and use from your heartache.

Her name was Julie......

An artist, embodied the word "Creative" so fully, gorgeous italian girl with deep brown eyes and jet black hair. We fit well, feeding each other's arts and spirits, just so right in so many ways.

Until she moved away.

And found someone she liked better.

I still think of her and have a place in my heart that aches now and then when memories of her are touched.

Shes much younger than me and we made a mutual agreement after bein together for 3 years that we'd do the open relationship thing cause she wanted to explore. So ok kewl. She did that. Then she left for the East with me stayin in Scotland. Wed see each other once every two months or so depending on work priorities. That was 4 years ago. We dont have a relationship we have a negotiation. And now that Im back with her for two short weeks im seeing that the sex thing is always there. But other than that shes like a little sister to me. Thers no future here. But i still love her very much. Shes hurt because she wants to know id always be there for her. But what about me ya know? I need to be loved aswell. And 4 years ina longdistant relationship aint cuttin it for me.

So i told her its not workin. I go back home a free woman. Im wonderin how thats gonna be different from the other times i went home on my own.

Love sucks

Not just a free woman, but a brave one. Lord knows I wouldn't have the strength.

Only did it once, and it honestly hurt me as much as her, because I knew I was hurting her by ending it. But it had to be done. It was going nowhere, and we both needed to move on. Apparently I was the only one that had the strength to do the deed. I never, never, never want to do that to another human being again, and vowed I wouldn't enter into any possible relationships, for exactly that reason. And for 10 years I didn't.

When the ex and I ended our marriage, it was a mutual agreement, we both agreed on certain things that needed to be done to improve both our lives, and the logical conclusion was that it would work better if we were apart. Because of that, we are still very good and close friends, we mail each other 2 or 3 times a week, to keep up to date with each other's lives and the two boys, he's met Mindy, knows about us, is quite happy and accepting. I am one lucky woman.

Just curious, but what does "going nowhere" mean? I have never understood that phrase. If two people love each other where they are, why does it have to end because it's not going someplace else? And if you both felt it wasn't going to the place you wanted it to go, why didn't you take it there instead of breaking up?

Where is this magical place that relationships need to go in order to work out?
