@samitaurus you will find a much more compatible companion once you move on emotionally. Look for the lesson, bless the one who taught it, and use it to make a better love relationship in the future.

@jodomi I'm just seeing this, and I'm very sorry for the late reply. I wasn't real close to my moms dad as I just met him when I was 16 (I think) and didn't spend much time with him before his passing. I was close to my dads parents spent every summer with them. My moms mom was super close to her as she would watch my daughter when she was young. I'm so glad that my daughter got to grow up with amazing people. They were extremely artistic and musically inclined. I've recently found that I am too. Just wish they could have seen it. Thank you all so much for taking the time to help me with this.

@aries-in-texas - yes, you love the man but hate what he did.

It feels to me like you are not moving forwards, but sideways, since you are looking for basically the same situation as in the past. I feel you need to be more flexible, maybe even consider seeking single accommodation or sharing a place in the same town with someone else. It feels to me like you are trying to squeeze two people into the same safe 'hole' when it might be necessary to find your own separate path.
