Goodbyes do not come in one size. There are temporary goodbyes and final goodbyes. Can you tell the difference?

After a FINAL GOODBYE (I don't mean due to death) do you keep going back? Why?

    Hmm interesting question.. not sure.. but I do know that I have always had a problem with people leaving my life..  it stems from a sorta step-brother I had as kid who just disappeared one day.. but if i care about people then yes, I would do anything I could to not have them leave, to encourage them to stay and work it out.. 

    In conversations too I can be a little that way... i am a natural educator, I want people to learn and understand.. and i get frustrated when they seem disinterested and don't want to consider facts and information that I feel they should take on board.. I am someone who loves to learn and will change what i think in the light of new evidence, if that evidence is good.  So sometimes I will keep trying even when I am on a losing battle because the other person isn't evolved enough or intelligent enough to learn or see

    I don't ever want to be where I am not wanted Addb. I would never impose myself on anyone who said a FINAL GOODBYE. Similarly I get annoyed with those who can't take a hint and keep coming back.  I can't figure why they do that. I don't care why people leave.  The fact that they want to leave is all I need. Even if they told me why it could be a lie. Knowing why matters not at all. The only thing that matters is that the relationship is over and I just move on. I don't usually look back either. Do I ever wonder WHY? Sure. But that's as far as it goes. I do nothing about it. What's the point? Thank you for your reply. I know we're different  and what I feel/think is the not the same as you.
