When a relationship ends -- there is always one partner left to "play the villain." The "other" tries to re-establish the relationship, sometimes after some time has passed, or sometimes over time -- but the "villain" steadfastly retains the villain status. It is not easy to play or "be" the villain. But it is a necessary function.
Someone has to be there to say "you can't go home again," "you can't step twice into the same river," "you can't recreate the magic that once existed," etc. etc. etc. All true -- but it still earns that person the trophy for villain of the year. For whatever seems to get in the way of a possible love -- must be villainy, right? It can't just be common sense -- stating the obvious -- or telling it like it is. It must be villainy to stand in the way on one partner's imagined or desired love. Even if that love is made impossible by the very nature of the complaining lover. I am, once again, the villain.
