Last November I acknowledged that there were some frictions going on in the relationship between John and me and that we were considering counseling. We did eventually see a couples counselor for awhile and for awhile things felt better. However, recently we called an end to our relationship.
Fortunately, we avoided much of the anger and animosity that characterizes the end of so many relationships. This doesn’t mean there isn’t/wasn’t hurt. The close of our relationship has been very emotionally challenging. We’ve committed to remaining friends. But for my part, I’m getting some distance for the moment, trying to get some perspective, and trying to re-engage who I am as an individual rather than who I was in a relationship.
I hope to get back to writing more. Sometimes it has been a challenge to keep up the posts, especially recently. More to come.

This is unfortunate to hear. It is part of life and somewhere down the road you’ll look back as see it was meant to be. We evolve as we age; sometimes on the same path … and sometimes different. I found myself in your situation 3 years ago.

Sorry to hear that. You seemed to be very solid couple but I understand things like that happens. I hope you keep your blog updated.
