Thank you JJ 3000 for your concern, I really appreciate it.
I have been thinking long and hard, almost to the point of meditation, about certain aspects of my life. I split with a fantastic woman because, for some inexplicable reason, i thought i might have a slim chance of something happening with my previous ex (googlemistress), But as you can see by her last post, 'things aren't going to change'. I don't even know why i thought they would. It brings to mind 'Fool' by Henry Rollins
I'm a fool when i need you
I'm a fool to believe
My heart is so wide open
I'm so easy to deceive
I'm a fool i keep believing
I'm a fool i believe at all
I'm a fool who'll keep on trying
and like a fool i will fall
Anyway, like i said, i've split with a fantastic woman because of this. So, i've sat her down and told her everything that has happened, the way i feel, the way i thought i felt, my outlook for the future, why i think i feel this, why i thought 'this and that' etc etc. EVERYTHING. She listened, she was upset we had split. She talked, i talked, we both cried and the outcome is that we are dating again. We sorted alot of things out. It also seems, because we had a long, honest and emotional conversation, that i've finally exorcised my ex out of my head. As soon as it all came out it was like a weight lifted from my shoulders and dark clouds parted to reveal sunlight. My current girlfriend has been there for me through some crap times. Even before we were together she was there for me when i 'attempted things', she has been like a rock, she still wants to be here now and that says alot. (She's mad, only joking). I now know that i can give her what she deserves. My undivided attention. 100%. It's weird how it took this to bring us closer together, but now i'm really happy.
Thank you to everyone who read this and gave advice. It's much appreciated. Especially in a computer forum. (like i said in an earlier post, i'm not a member of many forums, but i'm glad i posted it here).
If anyone has any questions or more advice, please feel free to post. Thanks again.
