Not to equate all of those, of course. I'm being facetious. That last bit came after lots of prayer and discernment was the most mutual, amicable, fun and respectful breakup ever. Although there is definitely sadness involved, Gary and I hope to remain friends. If you're going "Whaaaaat??" because you're one of those people who has asked us recently when we're getting married (no offense, but that was getting super awkward), I've re-posted on Facebook a beautiful note Gary wrote explaining our decision and thanking everyone for their support.

Our decision to separate was based largely on vocational discernment, and while there was a time when we thought our callings were more compatible, we realized our relationship wasn't giving either of us the space we needed to pursue God's will for our lives.
