Also, do not try to reconcile. Once it is done, never, ever go back. Ask William Hetherington how that worked out for him.
Yep. It's something men of all ages need to learn. The moment a woman expresses any desire at all to be apart from you, you need to take over and slam the door for her. Don't degrade yourself begging her to reconsider. She never really will. Don't drag things out. Immediately grant her her wish and never look back. The sooner you begin the process of separation and adjusting to life without her, the sooner life will feel good again, and the sooner you can begin work on finding somebody to make you forget all about her.
