It could happenned so that those whom you love will be unable to give that little "special" something, that you might find you can't exist without. It could happenned that you come to realise that after some time.
After you've given your partner your love, support, most of your life...It's not that your love for them dried out. It's not that you can't stand them any more. I'm just talking about that moments, when you realise that you have something within you, that you cannot share anymore. Would the reason be - they don't understand, or - they incapable to understand, or - they don't want to try to understand. It could be also - that they've got other things that they can't share with you too...in the end of a day we all - different and have different ways of walking through life, even if we've got a loving fellow traveller...
Things could happenned...And there could come a moment, when you give up trying to share certain things with your partner and look around searching for others to share instead.
Is this a moment, when you must consider to part and go your own ways each? Or is it - a sign for you to get all your strength and make an effort to understand and to accept that this is the way of life?
Tough choice, eh? If you stay, you will most certainly need to give up your ideas or to keep them to yourself, but you'll have your loving partner in return for this sacrifice.
If you turn and walk away, you'll lose part of your life, which had a meaning to it or at least which has a memories of details of what is you...
How many of us can let their partners to have someone else for sharing things, we not interested ourselves? How many of us want to keep our partners "exclusive" to us only?
It's one thing when there is no love any more, or where there is love for someone else instead...But what about - losing "togetherness"? Does it count for a reason to leave? Is it a legitimate reason - "no common interests"?
I can understand it could be a valid motive, if you haven't spend much time to try to find those "common grounds". But what about long-term partners? Do the years spent together mean anything? Can the fact that their lives are now so deeply intertwined be a binding factor? Just how much of sharing can you give up in the name of shared past?
And the other alternative would be - to find someone else to share that tiny part of great importance. And let your partner do the same.
But how much of "exclusiveness" can we let go? Can we really handle it? Can we trust each other?
What I wonder here: which way is better - to agree to be "exclusive" and accept all limitations it can tied you up with, or - to go "looking elsewhere", even if this means - to leave your loved ones because they can't accept it? [sigh] either way is painful, but almost everyone have to make that choice at least once in a lifetime...
