Though I know I won't contact him for fear of hearing his voice and almost crumbling inside, I do know that reading alot of the posts on here and seeing that a lot of the breakups are because of a specific issue that damaged the 2 people involved. I need to know where the posts are that show that someone who just is overwhelmed with life and missing his children and working insane hours, reliving the pain of his divorce through a friend who is now going through it and who feels he needs to end our (god i hate that word end) relationship in order for him to focus on him so he can get where he needs to be....does anyone have any insight as to whether this type of situations "ends" or whether they come back once they have regained a sense of self?
