                   I have  stayed friends with most past, long term lovers and relationships that ended because of different goals or  life directions .
            It is hard not to still care about someone who I have had  a long term relationship with even though I know its over and we found differences that couldn’t be solved as a couple .


                    How can you not still admire and care about someone who was a very close part of your life for a long time ?
   Am I just weird or different than most other single men and woman ?

No Dave, not very many men think as you do, you are exceptional.   I think you are a person who sees people for their qualities and gives them a chance. I have stayed friends with my ex husband,  because he has some good qualities and even though we didn't see eye to eye on things, and our marriage had it's great big  jolt's . We accepting the fact that we couldn't be together, it  took awhile to finally break away.  We accepted our differences and knew that we could never make it work.  So, we remain friends, I think it's best to be  friends and not enemies. Life is too short to hold grudges.

Hello QG.

I have had a relationship since my divorce and it did not work out. We still email, and talk on the phone from time to time. Not every relationship is all or nothing.

I think you are probably one of the most normal people I have seen post on AARP when it comes to relationships!!How can you love someone on Saturday and then hate the sight of them on Monday?  It takes two people to make a relationship and two people to break it.  It is never as one-sided as most people want you to believe!  If you decide that the relationship is not going to work then go your seperate ways but remember that bitterness won't hurt anyone but you.
