Things were great, but since meetin my ex a couple of weeks back its brought all the feelings up again. Its a real tribute to nc contact really.
A while back, a mate of mine who recently split up from a 5yr relationship jokingly said to me (about relationships) "if the fruit's gone bad, throw it in the bin". It sounds dumb but the weird thing is that its true, you can't magicly make it fresh and tasty again, so the only thing to do is to bin it. Its true with relationships as well i think; if its gone past the point of no return, throw it away. Granted, this metaphor is flawed cos not all relationships "go bad", but for all those that want "closure" there is nothing you can do about it, move on. Its hard to take at first but there's always... ahem... i hate to say this... plenty more fish in the sea. If they wanna make it work they can come crawling back to you.
