 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Carolyn Hax is away. The following first appeared Feb. 28, 2007. Dear Carolyn: Last year, after nearly four years with my girlfriend, I called off our wedding and moved out. We tried to date afterward, but we couldn't move on from our fundamental problems, and I made the decision to call it over. I've now been dating someone else for the past few months. I'm happy and enjoy her company, but she is not affectionate. I miss that affection and wonder if I didn't give up too soon on my ex. Am I just glamorizing the past? Or did it take someone else to show me what I was taking for granted with my ex? I'm not sure what I'm feeling here. — Washington |
