The Yearning, the Romance, and the Reality Part (1)
Hello everyone, Labels: Yearning and Reality
I hope that you are having a great weekend!
Tonight, I am going to talk about nostalgia or yearning. We, as human beings, are bound to remember, at least from time to time, the good times or what I call "when things were fine"!
One of the things that I noticed is that, during the divorce, my ex and I were viewing, and most importantly, feeling matters differently. First, I have to point out the fact that my ex and I were still living together through the first part of our divorce. This was an effort on my part to try to reconcile our differences for our kids' sakes. In essence, I felt melancholic (sad), whereas my ex did not express such feelings. In fact, on several occasions, I tried to discuss such feelings with my ex, in order to elicit (bring out) the best out of my spouse to no avail.
I would evoke certain memories that we shared together, my spouse and I, and ask:"do you remember that?" "Do you think of these things sometimes?" "Doesn't it make you sad...?"
But the answers were not sentimental, they were rather abrupt in nature. My spouse was more interested in watching the rest of the TV show instead of answering my questions and engaging in a discussion that might lead to a reconciliation.....
I am sure that all of you, who have divorced, have felt at one point or another some form of melancholy over your divorce. The same is true of a boyfriend and a girlfriend who break up. Some might remember their first date at a restaurant, while others might remember a nice evening together at home...
More on the yearning and romance next time.....
Good night!
