Thanks for your reply Inky. I was 33, she was 28. We started our relationship when we she was 23. She did tell me when we met up for the closure that if I had asked her to marry me 2 years ago that she would have said yes. I feel that she changed and wanted something different but she didn’t know what that was. All of my friends have said that on reflection we were not compatible and had different personalities. They said that even if we did marry it may not have lasted.
