Breaking up with a partner: to go back or to stay away?
Staring at my timber window frames the other day – I was doing the very boring job of painting them – I started to wonder about my ex. We’d been split up for six months and the break-up had been horrible, but still, there I was pretending that wood was really interesting. That I didn’t still love and miss my ex. Did it work? Not in the slightest. And that’s maybe because I forgave too quickly at the beginning. I was still latching onto that hope and had never really gotten angry about him like many people said I should have done.
Still, if there’s one thing wooden window frames are good for it’s giving splinters. Sure enough, a big one through the thumb got my hand throbbing and me thinking about blood and pain instead.
…do you still love them like you did?
