A very insightful article, Alberto! You're right about missing the person you were before. I think it's a major reason people take a break-up so hard. You're better off though! To choose, a red-haired person in a kilt over the significant other you have a history with and an epileptic dog says a lot about her character. Plus, she broke up with you over the phone. Take care of that epileptic dog. :-)
