AS, your response was perfect!

Groov, one thing that is helping me detach has been to look at the situation from a different angle. For example...I ask myself this question..."NM...are you really detaching from BF, or from having a relationship?" Meaning, is part of my pain due to being lonely and not having the something (R) that I want...vs. being lonely and not having the person that I want. Because, it is different. Do you see?
Believe me, I want my BF...but I have evolved enough to not want him at any cost. Just ponder that for a bit!


Me:35
BF:36
Together 4.5 years lived together 2 years moved out 8-13
still "together" but not together.
