If I sound bitter I'm not, this never happened to me but I saw it happen to MANY people.

Ustwo, I think this is quite a harsh way to put it, but I can see where you are coming from.
I just want to add to my initial post, because Ustwo did bring up a good point. I didn't ask for a break. I straight out told my SO that I didn't love him anymore... it was over for me.
The reason we are back together is because we did have occasional contact throughout our break. We always remained friends, even though it hurt for us both dreadfully at times.
Granted, there are those who deal with things as Ustwo mentioned above, but I think tecoyah said it best...

I think this is what makes the difference if there is ever a chance to rekindle the relationship later, and if that is what you both want.
