Here's another qs. If you and your partner (in this case mine is a woman) are on the outs and are at the very least sharing a lease for the next few months, what is likely going through her mind if she says "I love you" still and is still nice? We agreed to see what happens with time apart but really, how likely is that to get back together? She says there is the likelihood but I think she could just be acting nice to ease the blow. Personally, I would not want someone to say those three words if they don't mean them. I really wonder what would go through a woman's head in this situation. Since she doesn't want to talk about things right now, I'll ask ya'll.
to answer the ?
At the very least sharing space with someone after the relationship has skidded off the road is confusing .If she is saying I Love You maybe she is saying it from a different place ? I still have a very tight bond with one of my ex's and could live with him easily , in fact I'm considering it seriously
I do love him ..but I'm not
IN love with him . We couldn't and still can't be a couple due to differing values concerning finances and "entertainment" , but we remain close and caring "friends" ( with NO benefits ).
I do think she can still love you but not want to be with you in the same way anymore , although this is the thing that "bugs" me - - - You are in a place that is allowing you to feel a bit confused about her intentions , that means to me she isn't being clear enough or you still hope she may reignite this relationship at some point .
Your hopes are lovely if thats the case , I think a man who has hope is compassionate and rare .Most would just walk away and not care , maybe even sow a few oats if you get my drift ?
Her not being "clear" is an issue "I" find hurtful and disrespectful.I can see where it would be pretty hard to openly discuss the problems and future plans but being an adult includes honest and all inclusive communication skills.
now if I may ask , and I do hope this isn't considered "hijacking" your thread - - my thought process for this came from your post
I've been wondering what others think about " lying by omission "
If we omit details on purpose do you agree or disagree that it's dishonest and in effect a lie ? or is it at times a more kind and caring act to omit some things to keep the other person from being hurt or angered ?
