My ex and I went through all that- until I moved out here an hour away from her. Sadly, we went our separate ways, but I still talk to her on occasion. :) But that's proof that miracles do happen! the moving, not the separation, lol. The separation sucked at first, but I've since come to terms with it all.

Yep, they plan to meet up real soon now, but separation does suck. I personally just can't deal with it, I try to keep most of my relationships in person.

that's the best way to go, definitely. But as my mom always says, you meet people where you are.

I find it A LOT less stressful that way too.
