Hey B2J, I dont know how old you are, but to me life is what you make it. It can be miserable
Or it can be happy, you ultimately make that decision by the life choices you make. If it was meant to be with yourex, then it will eventually happen, if you decide that that's what you want. In the interim, surround yourself with people that make you happy, do the things that make you happy, that bring a smile to your face. I can only imagine how difficult it must be if she was truly the love of your life. I met my soulmate very young in life, and couldn't imagine life without her!! Again back to life choices, if your business has matured to the point where you can sustain a healthy relationship and she is "the one", then fight for her love. I know I probably left you more confused, not my intention. It's just that ultimately few people realize That we have the ability within us, to make ourselves happy!

Wishing you the best my friend!
