As always, your heart is on your sleeve, and I empathize so much for how you feel. I don't have flowery words of wisdom, or any greater insight on life than anyone else.
The only thing I'll say is that the situation you had was untenable. And as much as it sucks, hurts, etc. you just need to remember that you are worth someone's time, love, and affection. Finding a soulmate, especially as we get older, is not easy. And we need someone that puts the same effort into a relationship that we do. Otherwise, we give so much with little to no return.
I'm rambling, because I am at lunch now and want to get this down here. You are a good person. You are a great writer. The world needs to just pay a little more attention, so they can see what I do. ❤️
If only we could all start over again. There would be no wise old men cloaking themselves in absolute power and domination over the world by creating fictional stories about why we exist and attributing their brutal legitimacy by making us believe in a supreme being they call God. With all of the failures of humanity, there can be no such thing as a benevolent God who graces our lives with 'their' presence. Too much cruelty by supposedly God believing men. Only by changing our understanding of human life, can we change our attitudes about our expectations of others so that we treat each other as we would desire ourselves to be treated. Not only will our relationships with each other be based on respect and honesty, but our world will be a far better place for all, not just the few. You are a very special person Meaghan. Whilst your love for this man is so rich and honest, it is also heart breaking when he lacks the maturity to value what you bring to your relationship with him. If only there was a man with the attributes he has that you value and cherish but also can love you in the way you rightly should have in your life. Maybe, we can crowdsource him?

It's ok, I'm good. I'm still holding out for the one I want.
Like you told me one day at at time and you're making it Hun
OMG.
WHAT. HAPPENED???
As I said, the same thing that always happens. I don’t know how to let go. And I didn’t want to.
