and I believe that the heart of anyone male or female that can write with such feeling will undoubtedly rise again,
thank you for sharing.

Without your REality, this poignant write may not have been written so skillfully Fee! YOur so deep feeling, this I know through your words! Warm HuGs! *She*OXO

I am genuinely at a loss to know how to comment right now, Felix... cept to say that this hurts... one and many it would seem. You have sure touched nerves in the most tender-hearted way, but, true to form, in the most vulnerable and honest way imaginable. Marriage needs to be able to weather the metamorphosis undergone by both partners as they live, breathe and grow - both as individuals and as a couple. I think we cause ourselves and each other much pain by insisting that things either remain the same or refuse to accept necessary change... and all this, I know, is over and above the potential for just "staling of emotion" along the way. Deep and moving this is... and just the tip of the iceberg. You are a very brave man indeed to tackle even the tip of this subject... but, if anyone can do it and engage us all into every heartbeat, then you can. Bless you - you are one who has the ability and empathy to be able to speak for many of us. Your heart is an absolute treasure. TY K xx

so very sad, so felt, the depth within this pain is almost palpable, oh, the loss felt, the need, dreams and more...a stunner and simply feels so all too real and one wants to see comfort return to save the pained heart, here...what a beautifully sadly ever-all-too-humanly honest feeling here and simply, oh,
Hug!!!

I think the world we live in offers too many distractions, and ppl are preoccupied with nonsense, so they forget to love....

Love n hugs to yah

If there is one person on this planet that know the feeling that would be me....thank you Felix for sharing my friend!!

Smiles does not always make the pain go away..but in the moment it helps!!

People change, love abates and we grow cold. Life is that cruel. The worst scenario is where there is no respect. Victor

Geez, this is eerie to the max, Fee. You could have been writing about MY situation ... incredible write (and so right on in my case). I really related to this. Thank you.
Excellent work.
Hugs & much respect,
CJ

In the morning light there is new birth with another day. I understand the stalemate of marriage as life becomes condition for both without what was once passion. I'm so happy that I survived that part of my past and look upon it all as lessons now. I kept my sanity and forgave. Now I waken with myself, alone but no one to blame... and that's okay. I survived. Your pen allows me to see how important it is to forgive and persevere and move on.
Always,
Susan

this flows well...a stream of sadness
