Wow Walking, that is interesting. I will say that while it was incredibly tough to be rejected by my XH and told I wasn't right for him in the end, and to feel the "void" the came from him leaving my life, it was incredibly tough for me to be the one to pull the plug here. I could have maintained a physical relationship with this guy which gave me a lot of comfort and closeness that I really missed after nearly 3 years single. To willingly be the one to end that was one of the hardest choices I've ever had to make. But I felt like I had to force myself to do it because it was less than what I deserve, and because the only way to keep it up was to be lying to him about how I felt. So I guess that's some measure of growth for me, that I could be strong enough to choose to be alone and not have that security of the physical closeness.

I hope something good comes of this, for me and also for him. Thanks Jack and Brookie also for posting.
