My last SO :

We knew each very slightly for 12 months, about 30 sec into our first conversation it became significant for both of us & exclusive to the end.
He had 'cheated' on a previous girlfriend, I'd had an affair with a married man - we both hated the situation, & rapidly agreed exclusivity - from choice.

We never went a day without phoning/texting on the very few days we didn't see each other.

He is 14 years younger than me.

Traits. unfortunately, we found there were too many differences in the way we do things for us to be compatable. Which is sad because we loved each other very much.
Now we are friends rather than SO, the differences dont matter anywhere near as much.

Happier single ??? The strain had become too much, the love was strong and real - but it couldn't work -so we agreed to split up. For a while I thought I could never feel as happy again, which is silly. I may, I may not - no reason why it can't happen.
No partner at moment - which is good -as I'm still thinking through
issues arising from the relationship/life in general. And seeing friends & doing things.
Do hope for another SO at some point in the future.
