Hiya All,

Today I let go of a meaningful relationship today. He is an ex so it's not like we were in a relationship but he wanted me to go up to where he lives and see him. That would have been an 8 hour drive for just a couple hours with him. I ended up deciding not to go and emailed him with my decision letting go of the relationship for good. It still hurts though. I respected his opinion and knowing that I'm not going to be able to ask for his opinion or help anymore is heart wrenching. But I made the right decision and I'm sure that God will bless me for it. Still I could use some feedback.

Love and hugs,
Tara

If this relationship wasn't going anywhere, and it was toxic to you, then you absolutely did the right thing! Afterall, you broke up with him for a reason, right? So there was no reason to drive 8 hours to spend 2 hours with him just to break your heart once again.

You did the right thing. Now it's time to let go and move on. You'll be glad you did. Hugs, Lee

I think you are very brave, and i can tell from your tone that this was the right thing for you.
Its hard to comment not knowing more about the situation .
Be strong,

Well, a little more about the situation. i'm a sex addict and so is he. He's in a committed relationship but wants to have sex with me on the side. I'm just not into covering things up and hiding from somebody else's partner. I figure i wouldn't sleep with a married man so why would i sleep with a committed man?

Love and hugs,
Tara

Good for you for staying strong! Also major kudos for not wanting to be the mistress on the side. You deserve to be number one in a man's life, not his side dish. Shows you have self-respect!

So he wrote me back and told me that he really wants to see me and will be around if I change my mind...And he gave me a date that works better for him other than the date I had planned and cancelled...

Love and hugs,
Tara

Hiya rapidcycla,

thanks for taking an interest in my post. Nobody in my waking life seems to want to talk about it so I'm grateful that you're engaging me in conversation about it! I'm not going to go. I wouldn't gain anything but regret by going. By not going I gain dignity, self respect and much more. So I'm staying put. I'm trying not to contact him at all. I think it would be better that way. Thanks again.

Love and hugs,
Tara
