[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going through a break up right now after a 5 year relationship. It's mostly mutual, although she was the one who had the balls to end it. I think it would have taken me a little while longer. We'd both like to remain friends, although it's slightly more awk for me because she lost the loving feelings/attraction to me (not the other way around). OTOH, what has gotten awk is that she's in her late 30s and I'm in my early 30s. There are times where I can see the desperation/resentment re: biological clock and dating market value. It's sad because I love her and want it to work, but she just isn't into me anymore. Yet, I can tell she resents that she's starting over close to 40. [/quote]

Feel for you buddy as you seem to have really loved her.  But the starting over is on her.  She could have ended it at the two year mark if marriage was not in the cards.  [/quote]

Thanks. I know that it takes 2 to tango. Just wish she would have put the effort into figuring it out sooner. She's an impressive woman who really prioritizes her career ambitions. I'm proud of her success but wish she could also prioritize her personal life too.[/quote]

Dude. You're putting this all on her.  Why didn't YOU figure it out sooner?  You said you would have come to the same conclusion to end it but it would have taken you longer. You're not a spring chicken anymore either -- you are old enough to know if this woman is forever before FIVE YEARS pass by. Take responsibility.[/quote]
