After seperation, how do you handle the relationship with your ex? Lately, I read of human bondage.  The way Philip hands his relationship with his girlfriend makes me think a lot. He loves her and wants to be with her. But she doesn't love him at all. Each time she is using him. He is so crazy about her. When he can't' be with her, he speaks badly of her and thinks her bad. After going through a lot, Philip finally comes to realize he doesn't love her anymore. At this time, she is so pissed off and ruined everything in Philp's home. That is insane.  And yesterday, I talked to a friend who told me her story. She and her boyfriend broke up a few years ago. And they wished each other unhappy for the whole life. I am wondering why would they do that? Once they were so in love. I just did not get it. How did/ will you handle the separation? Do you still want to keep in touch or stop contacting?
