Well as I said in the Hesperis thread, I've been there once or twice, but badly, just the once. It's been nearly 20 years, and I still think about her, although not all day, and every day which I did for the first four years. You learn to to live with the fact, and without the person. Of course it doesn't help to know that the breakup was mostly my own selfish fault. I hope that it has helped subsequent relationships, because it sure taught ma hard lesson.
