It is possible, I am headed down your road too. I recently got dumped but I begged to hold on and stay in contact with him. During that time, life has moved on without me, people getting married, having kids and living life. I need to take the power back and so do you. Something has to, needs to change.

I hope things work out for you, and you end the cycle. I am hurting more now than I ever was and I hope you don't hurt anymore either.
