I guess I would be curious what the issue was that kept you in a back and forth relationship for so long. Were needs being expressed and then going unmet? Most people do not walk away from a relationship that is meeting their needs. It is also very hard to let go of someone when we love them. I am 7 months out of a 3.5 year relationship and still struggling with my heart!

Please give us a bit more info so we can help.
