I was married for 15 years. I loved my ex truly, madly, and deeply. That love, support, and intimacy was never returned. I have been divorced for over 3 years now. I have spent a great deal of time understanding my culpability in a failed marriage. Taking responsibility and learning how better love myself and how be a better partner.
So many have had similar experiences mine and so many seem of given up on love. I promised myself I was not going end up like that. Unwilling truly risk. Willing accept lukewarm feelings, Preferring cool security and the still contentment that passes for happiness.
Love is incredibly risky. Intimacy is easily developed. Love may have a touch of madness and the risk of immense tragedy, but it also feels like an ever flourishing garden growing throughout your being.
I may never have the fortune of falling in love again. I can accept being single. I am here looking for love, I am not afraid, however I am far less foolish.
