Because love is a choice, you can decide whether you’re in or out…and when. This thought really spoke to me because of my own experience; not to mention I had just finished watching Crazy, Stupid, Love and was thinking about my marriage and its untimely end.

On the surface, I agree wholeheartedly with this statement: "I won't give up."
But, as was in my case, after I've worked through the mess time and time again, if I don't see any effort on your side (if I don't feel like your willing to work through the mess with me), I'm out.
And, yea; you can call it giving up. I sometimes feel like it was....giving up on you; on us. But then, I am reminded that you gave up first, and I am slightly mollified. But don't think that makes me feel any better. I chose you and meant it to last for the rest of our lives. So, I am still sad that it didn't.
But I am not sad that I drew a line with you. You gave up first...on me; on us. And you chose not to get back into the mess to clean things up. And I couldn't change your mind. So, the path as it unfolded was a choice that inspired many other choices.

Ultimately, love is a choice. And both people need to be "in it" for it to last through the ages.
