Hi liquidsnake,
Intense relationships are so awesome, and also really hard! I think you may both become really good friends over time, perhaps even more again one day…
Neither of you deserve any blame. People grow and change, and so do relationships. We all become a little co-dependent on our partners, as we give ourselves to the relationship. That’s why it is important (nice) to regather our ‘single’ self when the opportunity arises.
Taking a break is fine. Each of us have things to learn individually, as we are not exactly perfect :).
There is a grieving process, including self recrimination, at all these junctures. Don’t be too hard on yourself (or her).
Look after yourself, and keep the communication open and light with her for the time being.Things can grow into even better forms of connection, which are more stable and rewarding.good luck

What is interesting is the lack of logic involved! There is no way to really think yourself in or out of genuine feelings. When we try to resist or change honest feelings, tears may flow or anger may build.Perhaps the real struggle is with the impermanence of life itself. We all try to hold onto the ‘good’ things while doing our best to manage the ‘bad’ things. In the end it is all flowing and changing. The more you try to grasp tightly, the more things slip through your fingers.
It is useful to face fears. It is often a case of shining a light on things, only to see them vanish or become less threatening.
Love happens in its own way… and follows a course we cannot control.It hurts like heck to lose the sensation of love, and it hurts even more not to allow it to take its course.
Life is fleeting, and the only real fear is of losing that life.
Wishing you peace on your own path, and hoping things become clearer as you go along. Feelings are a handful 🙂
