  • Thanks for sharing your story. Similarly, I’ve been with my partner for 10 years. We planned on having kids, never materialized because of reasons. Now… We are distancing. It certainly feel like failure. I just moved to a new apartment last week.

    So far, I haven’t ‘duel’ the loss, except for some occasional irruption of either sadness (~95%) or rage (~5%). We keep talking daily, trying to part ways softly, we are both migrants in a new country, medium sized city, which adds some peculiarities.

    I think we try to avoid the sentiment of failure by keeping an open mind, and a friendship. I even fantasize this is only temporary. But honestly, we have been on this for a while. Like after the pandemic.

    Anyway, some comments in this thread really help me. I do want her to be happy. We both deserve the best, and frankly we may not be the best fit today. But we were powerful. We went through a lot, and we did good.

    PS. Feel free to write privately of you wanted to share more.










  • Indeed. I feel that sometimes being the co-pilot requires stuff and I’m happy to provide. These are all different kind of intelligences.

    Sure, anything at the extreme can be a real problem.

    Ps. I have tons of anxiety and love theater. Also, martial arts. Both activities help me ;)
