I came out of a comfortable if sexless and loveless marriage of 18 years and had no regrets, it was an amicable breakup and we are both still friends.
My mistake came shortly after when I fell deeply in love with a beautiful woman 15 years younger than me who never fell in love with me. I didn't give her the chance. She was herself heartbroken and still recovering from it. I was too available, and a bit needy at times. I pursued her from the beginning and we were "together" for 6 months but looking back at it, it was very unbalanced for most of this time In the beginning it was solid and strong but I gave her too much and got little in return, but kept giving and giving. I made many mistakes which I will never make again and have learned a lot from this short relationship. The 3 things that stick out are:
- The best way to get someone's attention is to take yours away
- The best negotiation tactic is to be able to walk away AND MEAN IT.
- NEVER reamin friends with your ex if you want them back.
Everyone should go listen now to the 38 Special song "Hold on Loosely" ... I wish I had paid attention to those lyrics before I met you Bethany.

This is the truth and it takes at least one to get to this point !
I don't agree with the last one. I was friends with my ex after we broke up and that helped to get us back together.
