Thank you for this. I realize Phil may not follow this thread at all, since his post was in April and this is October, but there are other Phils out there, and they need to know that relationships have lifespans like every other living thing. Sometimes the relationship dies before the culture says it "should", but they die for a reason, and trying to keep them together for any reason other than a mutual desire to grow together in life is a much worse choice (in my opinion) than letting the relationship go, and honoring it, as you seem to intuit.
btw, I am thankful for YOU, too.
Thanks again ~ Idget
