[Serious] Relationships: Finding your perfect match and then losing them.

[Abaddon_ire]

But I can't imagine that girlfriend having enough of the other wonderful qualities that she has. There's just no way I'll ever meet anybody better than her. It's logically possible. But it's so incredibly unlikely.

Okay, let me ask a more specific question. Hypothetically, if you were to accept my premise that I really will never meet somebody as wonderful for me as her ... then what?

Remember, you change too! Someone who's "perfect" for you now may not be perfect for future you. In the future, you may meet someone perfect for future you, and she may be completely different than the person who was perfect for present you.

Interesting point. Post divorce my own kids inevitably played the "get mom and dad back together" game. Now they are gone so far the other way that I find myself defending her to them even though she could go die in a fire as far as I am concerned.

For whatever reason, she went down some uber conservative rabbit hole. Pissed me off and then pissed the kids off some years later.
