Breaking up is hard to do

Relationships are really interesting. I thought once you broke up, that's it. You don't really think about the other person and you move on. I must admit that I never understood when others would talk to me about how hard they found it to open a new door in their lives that did not include the other person. Well friends, I apologize for not understanding what you meant then. And if I was ever overly critical. I've had to go through that lately (thankgoodness am past that stage now)and it has made me a more compassionate and sympathetic person. It's always good to learn something from your trials, right? That's the whole point, I guess :).
