Both of the opposite sex? To what? Your ex is female cos you state that in your first post. Are you female then?

NO relationship is ever worth ending your life for IMO. be independant, don't rely on other people because the more you do, the more you need them and the less they rely on you then the less they need you. I found this out with my ex. After lots and lots of greif, I found that I needed her far less than she needed me....much too my relief!
