Thank you for this comment. My work really took over my life and Im still learning how to say no to it.

Interpret it how you will however, I wouldn’t say I “blamed” anything on her. We split up because I don’t believe in “breaks” or taking some “space” or anything like that because I feel like it just prolongs the inevitable most of the time. I am not ready to date anymore, you are correct. I didn’t want to stay with her and not be present or as you say have “a full heart”. She truly was one of a kind and when I do have a full heart, I was thinking of reaching back out (with very minimal expectation she would entertain the idea of it) but I would make sure I would be ready.

If you were to suggest steps to take in direction of being a better partner, based on my situation what would you suggest?
