	Let's hear it for continuing a relationship after the fall.

	It's not easy.

	It can hurt like hell to watch your ex-SO {get married, find a new
SO, move out of state, take down your Wombat Love poster} *but* it seems
(at least to me) to be worth it everytime.

	Personal experience time:  In the last 8 months, I've gotten
re-connected with an ex-SO, a young woman to whom I was once engaged (gasp!),
and whom I lived with for a year.  After drifting apart for a couple years,
we've found a new kind of friendship based on the closeness we shared, and
still share; and it's great.  We're going to Wisconsin next weekend for a
vacation together.  I just hope we don't have to register as "Mr. and Mrs."
again; %$&#!! archaic hotel morality.

	And the moral: Try hard.  It's worth it.
