Dear MonaD:

Good to read from you again, and thank you for your good wishes for me, I wish you the same!

Last I read from you was March 18 (on a previous thread). At the time you were working as a technical and application specialist in a company that supplies the required testing needs for all of Sri Lanka, traveling the country. Are you still doing this very important, frontline work?

It’s been six months since your breakup,  “I still hold a lot of love for this man who is my ex and I do not know if my affection for him will ever disappear.. I take it as proof that my feelings for him were true and that he was someone dear. But I have more love for myself now and, I believe, a less romanticized idea of relationships”-

– I hope you continue to un-romanticize your idea of the relationship with him because, as you wrote today: “We didn’t experience the specific trials that came with an actual relationship where our  lives physically intertwined around each other, not just in the digital world”-

– you said it yourself, you didnt experience “an actual relationship” outside the digital. I suppose there is safety in loving a man with whom you don’t have an actual relationship, and to keep feeling love for him, as you do…?
