I am envious and proud of you that you can look at it that way, Josy. I am hoping he will see the error of his ways, but if not, I am glad that you will be able to cope so well and cherish the memories you made together.
Are you sure that you don't want to send him an email telling him that stuff? Tell him what he means to you and that you dont want to lose him, but if that is what he wants then you will find a way to manage without him? It seems like, at the very least, he owes (and would want to give you) closure or an explaination... Is he usually one of those who avoids confrontation at all costs? Do you think he would really just NOT contact you ever again?
