You asked if anyone had been in a similar situation.

I had a relationship many years ago where I was much more comitted than the other person. It ended badly, very acrimonious, which I don't think is your situation.

But, my point is, 20 years later she contacted me through Facebook asking if I was the person she knew from ... who worked at ... And now we get on very well!

Sometimes relationships have to end. I had to end that one all those years ago to preserve my own happiness. It hurt like hell at the time, but it had to happen. I moved on, found myself happier, put it behind me.

But hey, what goes around comes around, or something like that, and I am pleased to hear that her life went how she wanted it: married, kids, ... She was interested in how my life moved on, I changed careers, moved abroad, ... I now count her as a good friend.

Hope that helps you, Zeroth.
Thanks for this!
