Thanks all for the great advice. She decided that this relationship was not what she needed at this point in her life. I was crushed as I never was before, but I've been through stuff like this before. It was good for me I think. I cried for the first time in 8 years, and it felt really wierd. I also yelled at the world in my car, with no one round to hear, that felt really good actually. I think I realize why some people choose not to date at all. Why there is the saying, "it is better to have loved and cried, than to have never loved" I think that it was written by a person who hadn't been heartbroken yet. It sucks, but it makes a person stronger, but at the same time much weaker. I still care very deeply for her, but we'll see how life goes.
