A couple of weeks ago a woman I love moved a long way away … we only met 6 weeks before that, yet it wasn’t a whirlwind romance. She’s terrible at communicating remotely, so we won’t ever have a long term relationship.
My spouse has lifted my spirits a lot, and reminded me that I’ll always carry her in my heart. I’m happy to have had this experience, even if I’m still feeling a sense of loss over it every day as well.
So … who else out there has had that sort of short but sweet romance? What was it like?
Thank you for sharing that … I hadn’t thought of the “cost of entry” aspect, but it makes perfect sense.
Since starting this thread I’ve had time to process it. I’m glad that I don’t regret it because it means I’ll be open to the same sort of thing in the future … there have been times in my life I’ve been jaded or hurt, and I raised my cost of entry as a defence mechanism.
But I’m determined to remain open to love, should it find me again in the future, even if it doesn’t last long :-) (of course, ideally, I’d prefer long-term, but the universe doesn’t always work out that way)
