    I guess it would depend on the type of relationship, and how long you where together.

    Yes, all good points.

    I don't think we're ever really fully "OVER" our ex. How can you be? I mean, all good points and yes we should move on, but there will always be a part of you that stays with someone you've spent considerable time with.
