Queer as Folk - Changing Minds

Lindsay and Mel - seeming to hope (?) that the other has changed their mind about leaving/separating.

Did I think he would change his mind (after he left here)? No, I didn't really think so.

I was very surprised when, at the end of July, six months after moving out, he said he wanted to come back.

Then, at the next separation (me leaving the business), he seemed to want me to change my mind. Saying to me things like I didn't have to sell out of the business.



It's hard to make a decision when you don't really know for yourself what you want. Most of the time the right thing to do is simply make a choice and see how it goes. But when your decision is going to have a big impact on other peoples' lives, it's really unfair on them to keep on changing your mind. No, unfair isn't the right word - it's devastating.

I couldn't agree more. It's devastating and it's paralyzing. The effect that their changes of mind have on us and then there's the effect of our changes of mind upon our children. Sometimes the only thing I find I can do is to curl up in the foetal position for a while!
