Nicole and I have separated. Those of you who know us well, know that we've had fights where we thought that before, but this one was different. This one there's no coming back from. This one made it clear that the woman I fell in love with is dead and gone. I can no longer be in denial of that.
This is going to be really difficult for me because I really didn't see this coming. I fully expected to spend the rest of my life with her.
I'm not really good at asking for help, but this has been, and is going to continue to be a really rough breakup to get the rest of the way through. So if you can help in any way, I'd appreciate it. I'm not really even sure where to go from here so I'm not asking for help for anything in particular. There's a few small things that I know I'm going to need help with in the near future, obvious stuff like moving furniture, etc, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
jsj@forte I ended a relationship after nearly 14 years. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and also the best choice I could make for my own (and my ex’s) self worth and well being.
*hugs* There’s no way past it but through it. It was terrible for a long time. Then one day, it wasn’t. Then another day some time later, I realized I hadn’t thought about my ex in days. Then weeks.
Hang in there.

Thank you, I'm pretty hopeful for the future at this point. Now it's just a matter of figuring out what my future is without her.
