Hi kj,
I know that when i was "on a break" with my abf, i kept myself busy busy busy. I'm lucky enough to have a great job which allows me to travel so change of scenery definitely helped. If not, just make sure you're well surrounded by friends & family and do stuff for yourself (massage and co)
Ok, that said, i'm back to square one and probably will need to do that all over again...and thinking about it: it sucks.
Oups...sorry! Came from the heart! lol
Well, you know what i mean...it's not an easy path to go through when you love someone...sigh....
xoxo
Carine
