[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 1747445, member: 18305"] I've just spotted this thread, and just want to make a couple of points. Firstly, I'm impressed with all the advice. I found myself nodding along to most of it. I met the love of my life when I was 21 and spent the next 12 years in a blissfully happy relationship with my soul-mate. Then things went wrong (I won't go into it, but it made me realise that you can never 100% know someone) and I now find myself a single man again. All the stuff about getting away and not trying to stay friends is spot on, even though it is really tough to do at first. I had to turn my back on the person I loved for 12 years. It wasn't easy, but it was definitely the best decision for me. Which leads to my second point, which is that I think you're doing the right thing. It is absolutely not defeat, it is moving on and taking positive control of your situation. Good luck with everything. If you do ever make it back over to our shores, there are a lot of other lovely parts of the UK - Scotland (lots of different parts) and Northumberland to name just two. Cheers, Liam [/QUOTE]
