Me and my girl of 5 years broke up a year ago... really sucked at first. But I made new friendships and some great friends (Sad to say all of this site lol) But how do i feel a year later... I miss her, the comfort from being in a relationship, the person to go home to and look forward to seeing... but now I am the same person with out that.. realized that having a girl is no the main thing in my life or the main focus point for me anymore. Good luck man! You sound like your doing this for the right reasons and good on you!
