thanks so much for this – free of the ribbons and bows of romantic love – this is the realism i was looking for. i want to make promises i can keep and what i am realising is that i can only really promise to leap into love: knowing all that i do, trusting that i have within me the strength to love and be loved.

Thankyou for writing this article, I am getting married in two weeks and it has really freed my mind of niggling worries and inconsistencies that are written in the vows, because I agree with all you say and I am now ready and accepting .

Glenn! Thank you so much for writing. I wish I could say even one word that could alleviate the dull ache of lost love. In the meantime, though, all I can do is send love and prayers and great respect for your loss.

Please stay in touch. Love, Susan

I am approaching the question from the other end. My wife and partner of 33 years died two years ago, and what was out life in the present has now become in the past. Questions about desire, love, and establishing new relationships have brought these questions once again to the forefront. The glow of our relationship (full of love and kindness, for the most part!) has now moved to the background, but as with everything has left a legacy of unresolved questions and perhaps even hindrances to remaining in the present. The black background of this mirror sometimes overwhelms the present, seeing less not more. Does the dull ache of lost love really give rise to insight? I hope, but am more confused than ever.

Thank you for the insights. A beautiful post.

I cannot thank you enough for you post…
I went searching for some answers and found a new perspective here, you should know that you’ve changed a life.
Tomorrow we are to start marriage counseling (married for 15 years) and until I read this, I didn’t even know where to begin…
