Im an over thinker, and what i really need to do is take a big step back and learn to control my feelings.

Yep, we're similar people. I'm very analytical and over analyze everything, relationship oriented or not.

right now im at peace with myself and him, and i can actually move on slowly with my life, which has been on halt for quite some time.

That's the first step and is so important. Not to mention a great way to start!

Really appreciate you sharing your story, because it's given me another way to handle this situation, which i have been rather blind about. and to everyone who has provided their advice, it is so generous and supportive of you all, and i cannot imagine having to gone through this without any kind of support outside of people who know me.

Of course. That's what this section is for. It's tough when you don't have anyone to talk things through with for whatever reason and finding that outlet can make all the difference in the world. I'm very glad my story gave you an alternative viewpoint. I've gained just as much from talking about it myself and from reading other comments too.
