Sean im finding it difficult to make any comment on your post. It's probably because of restistance I sense is still in me. My golden wedding anniversary is in six weeks and it has been more than a roller coaster by miles. So your post has laid bare so much and opened up more than im fit to deal with at the moment.or maybe unwilling to. But I sense here is the final escape hatch in your post. Thanks again Sean please don't stop posting
The body (ego) seems like it craves much more than platonic companionship. It craves intimate, romantic love. My ego cannot comprehend how on earth I am able to love my co-worker exactly the same as a romantic partner. Yet, we are asked to do this as God does.
Personally, I struggle to enter a romantic relationship with anyone that is not into the Course or practices similar teachings. It seems doomed to specialness if my partner has no concept of these ideas. So, out of fear of being in a special relationship, and no doubt arrogance, I remain alone.
My ego is waiting for a like-minded partner, and even though that feels like the right direction, it also feels discriminatory, and lonely.
But, I have tried dating men who don’t understand any of this, and I’m left feeling uninspired, and stagnant.
Do you think that this like-minded requirement is yet another form of specialness? I have tried letting it go, but I lose interest in the person.

“It’s okay that this makes no sense. It's making no sense just means we're still confused.”
This makes me laugh every time I read it. :-)
