Just a quick thank you for helping me get over my girlfriend of 8 years. I saw her last night after a separation of a year and realized I don't even like who she's become.

I thought I wanted to get back together but remembered everything I'd read here while talking with her and things I hadn't understood started to make some more sense.

No one should be responsible for your happiness but you and I didn't really get that until I saw that she couldn't make me happy anymore even if she wanted to.

It's still really painful obviously but I think my heads in the right place now to move on.

Don't hitch your wagon too tight. Thanks everyone.
