Carrie and Big type situations, just wondering...

[LostQueen]

How often do they tend to work out in the end? I'm asking out of curiosity, not because I think my own Carrie/Big type situation is even remotely likely to have a happy ending (I have a horrendously unlucky track record when it comes to dating and relationships!) but as I'm sitting here working through my emotions, forcing myself to get "him" out of my system -again- so I can move on, I'm wondering, how often do on again/off again situations ever end up with a happy ending? I'm racking my brains but I don't think I know of any!

It's only just happened offs! I hardly call a few days of getting over someone that I care about enough to call how resolute I am into question.

Anyway, I started this thread out of curiosity regarding similar situations, I didn't start it so that I would have my character called into question or so that I would have to defend myself based on a bunch of assumptions just because I'm upset about letting someone go. I've already stated I ended it because it's clearly not going anywhere but somehow my thread has been read as "do you think my situation is going to work out?" That wasn't my question because I already know the answer to that, I've said that more than once.

Not sure why MN is permanently in attack mode these days

So, "all the times you walked away and he didn't leave you alone"

What were they ?

You want to move on ? Great. So stop being defensive and listen. Try to work out why you did a "Carrie" all those times before and pinpoint why this particular "ending" is the final one.

Until you do that you are still vulnerable to the crook of his finger. Getting pissed off with respondents here isn't the answer.

You explained the situation and folk are responding to what they see.
