Hi Holly and everyone else
You know I have just remembered that when I was 23 I had a very sad relationship break-up and was utterly broken-hearted

What did I do? I upped sticks and moved to another city, leaving my parents and friends with strict instructions not to pass on my address to my ex. I have never had any contact with him since.
And why did I do this? It was of course
because I had felt so strongly about the guy, otherwise I could have coped better with the break up. I don't know, suddenly I feel as if I understand better why we may not be hearing from John. It's not just a question of licking his wounds......or living a different lifestyle......when you are really hurt in a break up, sometimes the only way out is to absent yourself
Sorry, I know this is obvious really but just wanted to put it out there.

I just hope that John is beginning to rebuild his life - it worked for me anyway!
