It really is a brand new life. This morning, in a long heart-to-heart talk, Ken and I agreed to part as husband and wife and remain close, loving friends. Although we love each other very much, this appears to be the wisest course of action before us. For a long time, Ken has been unsure of whether he could fully commit to this relationship and I have been unwilling to settle for anything less than 100%. This has caused us both tension and pain.
This morning, we both acknowledged that despite our wishes to the contrary, Ken is not available for the relationship that I want, and I am not the life partner that he wants.
Neither of us want to tear the other out of our hearts. Neither of us are looking forward to the challenges of this process. So we have decided to simply keep loving and supporting one another through it, while also acknowledging the limitations of what we can offer each other.
I hope that this can be an amicable process all the way through. I am proud that we both did so well throughout the conversation and the morning afterwards. Although I am feeling alot of pain, nobody has died yet. : )
Mu work with Ruth and David and with Pema's videos are showing their true worth. I have been able to feel the pain without strking out, and so has Ken. We are neither in denial nor flailing about wildly. I guess growing up has its utility after all.
I have great hopes for both of us. I think we can each create a much happier life, and perhaps even keep the other in it.
Blessed Be.
