Mine was seven years. After the sadness passed, I realized I had developed a habit of writing random thoughts and daily events to her on skype. I could post more here or at other sites, but then I think of sites that don't exist anymore, or they lost their archives. I could write more in a journal, with a pen.

There is a blog feature here on CD to write thoughts, however, I'm not sure this is a habit you should continue 7 years after a breakup.

I am sorry. 7 years is a long time.

What were the circumstances?

So do you mean that your relationship lasted 7 years and we don't know how long you've been out of this relationship? OR are you saying you still need to vent after 7 years later.

If you still feel the need to vent your feelings after 7 years of having split, there are some serious issues with you that need to be addressed. Surely you would want to move past this hurt and heal?

Please clarify.

She's in a different country now. We met online 7 years ago, met in the US a couple times, and made plans to meet there, but flights were cancelled and our plans were delayed for 2 years. When we finally met this year, some unattractive qualities had become magnified. During an exceptionally trivial argument, I stopped and decided this is not worth the effort. Either then or some similar moment I decided to end it.

So you carried on a monogamous 7 year online relationship with someone you met just a couple of times? You must be so mad at yourself for wasting such a long and formative period of your life.

There were signs and warnings I could have heeded more, but anger would be pointless and unhealthy.

Well if it's about someone else reading your thoughts I recommend a blog. But keep in mind when you make things available for many people you're going to find strange people not that they're bad it just might be not the audience you're looking for.

A long distance relationship for seven years is pointless and unhealthy.
