RE: Goodbye, My Friend

This is a fiery piece! It brought to mind how I ended a relationship with a friend who wanted to be more. I realized that as one grows older, we desire different things, and I stopped pursuing the things I wanted when younger, but he wasn't ready to let go, even after I was married.

Talking to him was messing up with my head and leading me to a point of comparison, which would definitely affect my marriage. I knew I had to let go, to cut off that connection and focus on being my home, with a husband who loves me to the moon.

Saying goodbye is the hardest thing, especially with someone you've known for 24 years, but that decision was the best to protect her and also your family before someone gets burnt.
