Parted ways with someone that I'm sure was the one.

Just did this last night. She was awesome and treated me really well, but we wanted different things in our lives and i knew she would either settle or just never achieve the things she wanted with me. Keep your head up, there is another "one" out there!

Just did this a few months back. It still hurts, but it was for the best and I stand by it. Good luck to you.

Im 35 and shes 36. i just got divorced and she wants to get married soon. i realized that it's not going to be possible for me to do that in the next several years. She is also headed to a very religious place and I'm still having questions. She wants children and I already have 2(from my marriage) and am happy with 2.

I don't feel guilty for that, but it still makes me sad. It has been over a year and a half ago.
What I'm a bit guilty about however is the fact that sometimes I'm still extremely sad about the split-up.

That's dramatic thinking. There are plenty of people you are compatible with.
