I wonder what causes people who once thought they’d spend their life together to not want to do that anymore.

Has your partner change? Or did they not change when you expected them to? Have you changed?

Have you not noticed each others’ flaws when love was young and the pink glasses still worked and only discovered them later?

And what can your experience teach us about our own relationships?

    It sounds like you were really able to make space for yourself after you two separated. To figure out who you were at your core, outside of being a parent and a partner. I’m happy to see you were able to transition and live openly, and I really admire your ability to admit your own mistakes and flaws. Wishing you both the best.

      Thank you for the kind words. I’m sure she would have a different take on this, though I will never know. Some things are not meant to have finality I suppose.

      🤷🏻‍♀️

      I hope to someday have someone to call my partner again. We’ll see.

        I believe that you will. I believe there’s someone out there for everyone. I hope that you and your someone find each other soon.

        And not having closure can feel awful. Maybe one day, if it feels right, you two can have a good faith conversation and at least get a sense of finality? If that’s what you both want, of course.
