Dear ZoeyD:

You are welcome.

It seems that you are clear about what happened: “it is as simple as: he started seeing her and no longer wanted to see me”. But it doesn’t mean that “She was better”, just that he wanted something different. he called you his angel, as good as an angel is, maybe he wanted a non-angel. (notice I wrote maybe, not stating it is so, but that it is possible, just as I didn’t suggest it is so that you guilt-tripped him, instead I suggested it as a possibility)

It is true, “There are no guarantees”, but you can maximize your chances to make something happen that you want to happen by making thoughtful choices, within a relationship and outside one, you pay attention to what works and what doesn’t.
