Once one accepts the lines that are drawn one can be kept in such a spot. This is where a person accepts that their life might be without a partner that others might have and just move on their own line. They accept that certain moments of happiness will be separated from others for the peace it brings when the other was dragged along. The pain lessons and just becomes part of their daily life. They accept this “reality” even if another channel might be available but are afraid to cross any new lines.
