Almost One year.
And no, I just kept busy with work, hobbies, exercise, family and friends. I also wrote or talked to him as often as I could. But I didn't forget about myself, even while missing him.
Things were different, but not necessarily bad. I grew, as did he. We had to incorporate our lives back together in a sense. We were more passionate, and yet guarded. We communicated better too.
It'll all work out fine if you both want it too. If it's not meshing well, don't be afraid to seek out counseling if you need it...
Luck to you my friend.
