Again, I believe there are no mistakes.....we learn from our experiences, good and bad....to quote an ex of my brother's when I ran into her at the grocery (5 years after they split)...."you know,"Ranj", I loved your brother for the person he was and how he treated me (like a lady), but I still had a lot to learn. What I found was a man who possessed every quality I could ever imagine (he was every guy I had ever met and liked, wrapped into one.....he was the "FULL PACKAGE"!)
I agree with this totally.
Both people can love each other but they have to be at the same stage of readiness for the relation to move forward.
I think one of the reasons it works for me and my g/f is that we are both at the same stage and want the same things.
I think what poshnpink is trying to do is have some closure so she can move on.
This is not always possible. Sometimes the best thing to do is to 'let go'.
