Quite a few years ago I was in a long term on/off relationship with a lady who was quite assertive. For lots of reasons including talking too much I left that relationship but did it in a very underhand way. I paid for her to go on holiday abroad and when she was there I got up and vanished and waited until she was on the plane home before sending an email to say what I did. She replied saying I was a 'spineless coward' and I can't disagree with this as I know thast the way I did this was wrong. Unfortunately, it was the only way I could deal with it. Has anyone else had any similar type experiences?
