I knew it was over

After Hurricane Katrina, M's great uncle was going to have to evacuate New Orleans. She says to me, without any inkling of "this is a favor" or "I want to ask you something" but rather she says "Lewis can stay with you." Now I'm sorry, but my home is my castle, and for her to open it to a stranger without asking, well, that is beyond belief. While we were together since 1994, we never lived together. I had my house and she had hers. Never did I bring up the subject of marriage, and never did I want to. If she thought the relationship was to the point that what's mine is hers, then that's when it is ended. Perhaps I am too selfish, perhaps I am one of those persons that can never truly share a life with another, I don't know. I just know that our relationship could never evolve as those that are truly in love evolve. I have many friends, married friends and not, who have just such a relationship. I understand it and am happy for them, but I don't know if I could ever be one of those persons. Certainly not with M. It's over, never to be revisited. I wish her only the best.
