"Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together."

Glass is one of my favorite art mediums. Especially blown glass. It is amazing how wonderful the mixture of all the colors are and the "defects" make them even better.
I agree that relationships are the same way.
Things fall apart, all the time. But it is up to the two friends or lovers to decide if it is worth the time and effort to make it right. Things won't be the same, but different and better, if you do it right.
Broken glass makes the most beautiful mosaic, but that takes two to make.
The boyfriend and I are at a confusing stage right now. Everyone says to leave it. I mean, how much can you fight convincing yourself that it is a great mosaic for the world to see?
It kind of felt like we were fighting on our own, and then I realized who my real friends were. It's nice not to feel like you are fighting your views with your own "friends."
I feel like I turned around, with a sigh of relief, only to find myself alone.
It hurts.
I feel like I worked so hard to make our relationship and make myself something to be proud of, just to find out he feels trapped, and we should just wait until he doesn't feel that way anymore.
What do you say to that? What do you do? I thought that talking it out was the best solution to everything, but how many times will we repeat the same conversation?
I guess you just wait for an answer.
Or until your cruise docks back in Tampa on January 13.
Or until next summer's end.
Or until graduation.
Where does the line get drawn?
How long do you wait before being told you aren't good enough again?
How much do you keep investing just to wait for that?
