I frequently say that if a relationship doesn’t work once it won’t work a second time. If it ended, it should stay ended (no matter the reason it ended).
Hm. I think this crow would be pretty good with a little bit of apple dressing. I’m going to go find some.

*smile* It’s nice when you get a second chance. Akien and I had to break up a couple of times first, before we “got it right,” and eventually ended up married. Sometimes it just takes time, or mellowing, or the two people to be a bit older and more experienced, even if that’s only by months.
I like (but fundamentally disagree with) her statement that a successful breakup is any one in which you remain broken up. It’s a little too like saying that any landing you can walk away from is a good one.
Eh, I dissagree. I’ve gotten back together with exes several times, and as a rule it’s been worth it. Half the time the things making it miserable for one of you were weird habbit that were making it miserable for both of you. A breakup and fresh start can air out a lot of those pointless habbits. Also one of the prime reasons I’m in favor people taking semi-lengthy solo trips- allows for a certain amount of re-start.
My old housemate says sometimes you need to grow for awhile, apart, in order to make it work out together. If it doesn’t work out the second time, she says that at least you know for sure.
Lots or relationship therapists say that couples may breakup in order to strengthen their relationship further. …as long as it doesn’t become habitual.
Besides, crow can be good eatin’
*What* (or should I say who?) have you done? (hands on hips, tapping foot impatiently) Hmmmm? 🙂
Who = no one you know. 😛
What = read next entry.
I never even have the desire to go there with any of my exes; the relationship is over and I am fine with that. Except that one time. It was like we simply couldn’t keep ourselves away from each other, no matter what we had discussed and decided. Who knows what would have happened if I hadn’t ended our on again off again cycle by jumping into a textbook rebound relationship. Eventually we lost touch, but I sometimes wonder if we were ever to see each other again, how long it would take for us to wind up in bed. He was a special one though.
Hmmm, don’t I have his cell phone number somewhere?… 😉
I admit I’m also curious. Anyone I know?
You don’t know him.
