one of the toughest things to deal with, i think, on an interpersonal level, is when wants between two people don't match. It's interesting how reactions can range from simple irritation to downright devastation.
You're absolutely right. It's maddening and gut-wrenching. So, so painful. When the realization hits that it's not going to work out, the feeling that you'll never recover is so pervasive and scary. All we can do is try to deal with what is, right now, and do the best we can, right now.
It's so painful. And there's nothing really to do about it. there's not always betrayal on either side, or wrongdoing...sometimes, sadly, it's just not to be. And it's frustrating, and feels hopeless.
The only thing that makes it even a little better is to know that the joy that you experience with that person was a gift...unexpected...
...so I know that I was happy before, and I'll be happy again, and the next person to bring that dizzy joy in my life might be right around the corner, waiting to sweep me right off my feet again.
That doesn't help right now though. Maybe a big bowl of popcorn will. :)

Take good care of yourself.
