I think there's a lot to what Dorian is saying. Seperation, in my case, exposed a lot of problems that I never had to deal with before...
BUT, what I often wonder is whether the seperation wasn't the
cause of a lot of those problems. In other words, is it necessarily true that it didn't work because it wasn't
meant to work from the beginning? If we'd never been apart, maybe things would be as good as always, and neither or us would know the difference....
Just something that's been on my mind lately. Honestly, I can't say that I know the answer. Btw, I also think that the distance involved and the number of times you're going to see one another during the time apart play a huge role, so its hard to make generalizations.
