In reply to wendyj59. All in all you are so right wendy, accepting lives take on different shapes and letting go of close ties takes faith that life can still be happy with who truly wants to be with us

In reply to hbksloss. That's a great insight, Heidi! It does seem hard to regulate the proper distance, doesn't it?

I hear you, and still m mourn the loss of several different relationships with women that I felt so close to. I wonder if the loss of these relationships touch on boundary issues too. Do we get too close and then allow something to separate us because the relationship is too intense, too intimate, too clouds?

In reply to wendyj59. That's a wise perspective, Wendy. A lot of friendships end through drift; it's the one's that end through rift (whether or not it's been an overt rift) that can be so painful.

I think we see it as a failure if we lose our friends and it’s hard to accept failure. But truth is we move on and often in different directions and sometimes it’s hard to maintain the link even if we want to. I’ve had several instances where it always seemed to be me making the effort and eventually you just know it’s time to let go.
