R Summers....it sounds to me as if you DID try....I am unaware your age...or how long you were together....my views are different than most others ...in that...I feel people come into our lives...serve an evolutionary purpose to our souls...bad or good...and some of these people are soul-mates...the bond doesn't diminish...others have their place in our lives...and despite a true,mad,deep love...are meant to be ...'for a time'..ie.,a co-worker,bf,gf,random friend etc.....I think your feelings for him were genuine....(((((Huggsss))))
