Thanks for your story BlackBird. It would have been brutal (but justifiable) to leave someone in another country. It looks like you waited for the right time.

Knowing it's over seems to happen more slowly than knowing it's on. By the time it is ending, there's some shared experience, kids maybe, lots more untangling to do. I wrote a short post a year ago here about endings, if you're interested.
