I am pleased for your enlightenment, Emily, and thank you for sharing your story. We are all so different and we can ‘read into’ texts and messages to fulfill our emotional needs. There is nothing quite like being with a person to find out their true character. Often it is far different to what we have fantasized. And there is nothing wrong with that. It is all part of learning and life’s journey. You will know when it is time to let go; to wish the other person well, and move on. You owe it to yourself to be happy with the right person, within the right relationship.
