    Thanks Shannon. I think you’re right – it’s best not to cling to an image of us being together, because I’m beginning to realise that’s getting less and less likely as a possibility. He doesn’t love me anymore, and I need to accept that. Your letter was a great source of comfort, it was very wisely written. Namaste.

    Thank you. I think I was fixating a little on the “grass is greener” idea. If I had stayed, I dont think things would have changed that significantly. He’s quite wrapped up in himself, that’s just who he is, and I think nagging would have made the situation worse because it’s something that’s beyond his control. I think in that situation you have to either accept or leave, and the role of “supportive girlfriend” wasn’t one I could accept so early in my life – I needed to have my own career and accomplishments. I still wish we were together, but it’s good knowing I made the best decision I could at the time.

    Thanks so much for this. Manuel, your perspective helped a lot (and I love Jodorowski!) I realise that I just need to move on. Hard as it is, I need to just suck it up and keep going. I’ve reflected on my behaviour since we broke up, and I realise that I really did all I could to work things out. That brings me some comfort, knowing I tried my hardest.
