Nothing died inside me, I just gave up being the advice man. I figure if you look up to someone for too long, really you only end up looking down on yourself. So to say I have stopped being such a main figure here, because I am no longer needed. As most things do, everything has an end. My end came months ago, I've accepted that and moved on. If she really cared enough to ditch you on such a date as an anniversary, then that really plays it to the heart. Just try and reason with her, because a relationship can never work if both yours and your partner's feelings aren't taken into consideration by one another.
