damn, Lady, I want to be you when I grow up! I didn't know why, but I knew there was a reason I was attracted to friending you across the distance.
(screen, unscreen, makes no nevermind to me)
I mentioned in another comment to you that a friend in Maryland is going through a similar thing, her mate no longer wanting to be with her. In his case, he found a poly substitute (though to my mind it's not poly, at least not ideally: more like him being selfish and having a mid-life I-can't-deal-with-being-married-let's fine-someone-to-distract-me crisis. And when I gave him a piece of my mind back in November, I said that I wasn't mad at him for breaking up the relationship: relationships fail all the time, I'm more surprised when they persevere, it's that complex. I was just angry that he was being a selfish jerk and hurting her unnecessarily by how he was going about it.
Point being: you and Bruce are shining icons of how to do a break up right. Sorry, but I'm afraid you both will be teetering up on that pedestal a while longer. :-)
