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. Michal
