I can relate to this reading 100%. In this passage we learn about a woman that is dealing with trying to accept the fact that her ex has moved on to anohter. I feel that other than myself many people can relate to this reading because we have or will have all been through a tough breakup at one time or another. When we find out that our exes have moved on to another person we sit and wonder and begin to ask ourselves "what is wrong with me?" "what did I do wrong?" "Why does he/she love him/her more than me?". This is the same thing the woman deals with in the reading. Whether we are the "dumper" or the "dumpee" such actions take over us. At first we feel that leaving our partner is whats best for us. But after we see that they are happy we feel regret and guilty and wonder why it is they are so happy. We then become consumed with the want for the ex to return to our lives and we look for answers and sometimes closure which may never really heal the wound. We also begin to wonder why we arent as happy as they are and why are we being punished and they arent. Reading this really made me tear up because it is something I have been through and it is not a good feeling at all. But, time heals all wounds and in the end we become stronger people and can evetually move on with our lives.
I can agree. Whether we are the "dumper" or the "dumpee" as you said, such uncontrollable actions just take over us. We feel that leaving our partner is whats best for us and then after we see that they are happy with some one else, we feel regret and guilty and wonder why their so happy. All we can end up doing is look for answers to try and get past the pain which always seems to be so hard. Great post!
