You didn't have to do that, but I'm glad you did (and I hope you are, too).<br /><br />Second, I don't need to tell you that, despite our best efforts, sometimes things don't work out. For two people, not at all related to each other, from very different backgrounds, with very different life experiences and points of view, to really and truly connect to each other and decide to be in a relationship together–well, all of that is something of a miracle. I'm surprised any of us ever finds himself in a relationship, let alone in one that lasts over time. <br /><br />Third, what I didn't read in your post was that you spoke to Jim honestly about what wasn't working for you. Wasn't there enough going for what you shared to invest a little time and energy, at least once, to level with him, to see if he was open to what you had to say, and to discover whether or not he was willing to make some changes?Rick Modienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157314737543591048noreply@blogger.com
