The World is Round by tarotastic
A woman I've been seeing for the last six months walked out of my life this week. She did the right thing. I've become increasingly selfish and self-absorbed. I've wanted the comfort of a relationship without the commitment. That way, I could still be committed to my dead wife.
I'm only realizing this now. It takes a big event to make you put the pieces together.
I guess I'm just not emotionally ready for dating. I thought I was. I thought I knew what dating was, but I don't. After reading some dating advice on the Internet, I now understand that there are a whole set of rules and expectations that vary from person to person. The only way to know what those are is to have open dialog. Unanswered questions become assumptions. Assumptions in a relationship are dangerous.
