    Probably not quite the same thing, but I was in a similar position to your ex once. He hasn't tried to contact me in probably 10 years and every now and then I just take a minute to be grateful...

    Probably not quite the same thing, but I was in a similar position to your ex once. He hasn't tried to contact me in probably 10 years and every now and then I just take a minute to be grateful that he's stayed completely away. He hurt me in a way no one else ever has since (and hopefully never will), and all I want is to never hear from him again.

    So just want to say, you're doing the right thing, and if you ever have doubts, don't write to her.

    I am a vegetarian, and while I would never force it, I would definitely see it as a good if anyone who were medically and situationally able to be vegetarian or vegan.

    I feel very conflicted about this, I grew up vegetarian, but I started having some health problems that made it VERY difficult to continue this way, and now I eat meat. And now it's a normal part of my life to not be vegetarian, I don't think twice about it. If the medical problems end, God willing, I don't know if i will stop again?
