I would request the advice of someone more knowledgable about the eventual
course of relationships.

I had dated the same women for seven years -- I consider seven years to be a
substantial fraction of my life.  I would say that we were in love.
Anyway, our relationship began to dissolve and this made me bitter toward
her.  Of course I couldn't believe that we would ever part so I did
everything that I possibly could to keep us together. One day in response to
various things I had said several days earlier I received a letter (she was
in Amherst and I was in Boston) which I considered insulting.  The letter
prompted a similar response on my part.  After having posted my response I
decided that that would be the last time I would ever have anything to do
with her.  Many months went by and I stuck to my decision and felt
reasonable about what I had done.  However, in the past few days our
relationship has come back to mind... this is not very happy.
This morning called her at home only to find that she was on holiday in
Europe for the entire summer (not entirely alone either).  Well now I feel
really bad... I can't get her out of my mind, I can't keep my mind in focus
on what I'm doing...

Anyway, what I want to hear, I guess, is that such sentiments are natural
and will eventually pass... I have few people I can really talk to about
this. Somehow the net seems like a reasonable place to seek advice.
