The end -mixed feelings

Update for those who know my story (see "Very sad" thread). I tried really hard to detach myself, concentrate on my life and treat my Scorpio as a friend only. And I have to say, I didn't achieve much in this matter for the last month. Life goes on, however my heart is still where he is. Finally I sent him long email with request not to contact me again, unless he really needs my help. It was very polite and honest email, I explained my reasoning behind that and need to move on from this situation. I admitted I am not able to do that when we contact each other and I can't pretend my feelings towards him suddenly disappeared. However, I am still his friend and will always be. If he would even need my help, I will help him, but I prefer not to be contacted otherwise. He answered in a polite way- he understands and respects my point of view, he treats me like a friend and I can count on him with anything. That's it.

So this is the end of my story. I sure feel certain relief but also emptiness......... like part of me is gone. How do you guys deal with this kind of situations? I keep myself as busy as I can-work, hobbies etc. But still it's tough.

Thank you guys. I guess, I needed to see this "the end" finally written.
