Love will Tear us Apart Again

[steel_bonnet]

So often it is said that there is The One and that The One is worth waiting for. However it is my experience that it is actually The Third that survives and is in for the long haul…

The First is that first Love, the first long relationship that lasts for reasonable amount of time. It goes one of two ways-

It all works out and folk stay together for

well said. very true.

Hmmm...OK...so what does it say if you have Number 1, then Number 2, then Number 1 again for all the reasons listed why Number 1 is good, then on to Number 3, the back to Number 2 because Number 3 tore your heart out and stomped all over it and Number 2 for all the reasons you listed, then Number 1 again because Number 2 just didn't work out the 2nd time around, and then Number 1 goes and marries someone else?

I'm pretty sure I'm screwed. :-)

what if....

3 is the target so you might as well get 1 and 2 together with a bottle of tequila, some peach melba and a paddling pool?

[bettyspider]

hahaha that would be such a great solution if only Number 2 wasn't xstraightedgex :-) (yes, I did spend 3 years of my life with someone who didn't drink - can you believe it?)

[steel_bonnet]

I am sure you made up for it by drinking for the both of you ;-)

This is by far one of the most beautiful posts I've ever read (maybe I feel all soppy now because I'm reading it and listening to "First and Last and Always"? Who knows? ;-) )
I was thinking something though: I've very recently gone past even number 3...err...
There's somehting not working with me I s'pose ;-) *lol*

Nothing wrong atall- flings, fancies etc don't count. the numbering works for longer term relationships.

[fraulein_doktor]

Mhmmm. I'm not sure that "fancy" is a good word to describe my last (and third) relationship, as it lasted three years and a half before we decided to split up ;-)

People still go to Hawkwind gigs? Wow!

[steel_bonnet]

They don't go anymore- Dave Brock comes to them these days :)

Eeep, mine is a number two! Although I suppose I could say that while one was a first love, I never felt like he was 'the one', so I'm still on my first 'the one' in that regard.
