    I had a love like that. We both realized that we were destroying each other - but couldn't stay apart despite breaking up. It was agonizing, the realization that you have to realign your life to try and be "without" instead of "with".

    Our relationship was a disaster because we were so hardheaded about love neither one of us wanted to accept it wasn't meant to be. Kind of like pounding your head into a brick wall to try and understand the simplest concept - futile and destructive.

    I think it's hard to convince your heart what your head already knows - it's over. Hearts are stupid - deaf and dumb. It only knows feelings, no logic, no common sense. It sounds like he's having a difficult time dealing with this as well. It takes time, honey, time and space. It's like learning to hold your breath - a little bit everyday until one day you feel like you can hold it forever.

    I still love him, mostly because he taught me that I was someone who can be loved. The fact that our break up tore him up as much as it did me also tweaks my ego a little. At one point in my life - I was a person worth agonizing over.

    That also happened to me.. Its not love, mabye it is, mabye it isn't. Its an unhealthy "love" its called obsession.. :( I had that for 5 years with my first love after we broke up, 3 years of waste.. Yet I still "loved" him.. Now he has a girl and I live to accept that, now we are brother and sister. :)

    I hope your situation turns out better in your future.
