Damn man, I'm so sorry for you. That's harsh, at least it wasn't out of the blue, though. I've got a lot of respect for you for being strong though, and sticking with what you need regardless of the reactions. At least you guys can stay friends, that's been my biggest fear with my girlfriend, (we're barely even dating anymore, but that's a really long story) we'd break up under some horrible circumstances and never talk again.
