Have you ever ended a relationship without breaking up?
Just at some point, did you and your partner realize it wasn't right or working, and end things completely amicably? No fighting, no bad feelings at the end?

@Pherick We're still good friends to this day, just over twenty years later.
I often wonder if we'd have been better off as friends rather than lovers in the first place.
It's just that we had such an instant connection on the night we met, one of those rare cases where you talk all night every night for weeks, so a sexual relationship just seemed natural and healthy and we were both up for it.
Sadly she lost her sex drive about nine months into it (partly due to health reasons, partly due to unresolved trauma over the death of her much-loved father) and there then followed six years of huge frustration before we finally called it a day.
That's the short version... but it will do for now. :-)
