Here's a Thought

Oh New York Times what would I do without you?! Just when I need some perspective on my life, and situation with my ex, you provide me with answers. In the Style and Fashion section on today's home page there is an article on "The Ex that Never Left". Its about a woman that was left by her husband, with no reason other than he was done and didn't want to work it out. (Sound familiar....why yes, yes it does) But he never really left her life, he still comes over, makes dinner together, help out around the house, she does his laundry...all the wife things that she did before the divorce. Just now they live in separate places. It works, her friends and current boyfriend don't understand it (which also sounds familiar minus the current boyfriend part).
What it boils down to is this....it is possible to keep him in my life and not be with him romantically (despite the fact that I'm pretty sure I'm always going to be in love with him in some way), yes this is something that I've known from the get-go....and it's HARD! Just over looking him saying that "we'll tell them....." when talking about the someday if I get married this morning, or how he held me last night has been a little difficult to not read into. But hell I was in a six year long relationship with a man that has serious depression....and that is more than most people could do, so I think that I can do this too.
Cross my fingers, and hope for the best I guess!
