@mwl I had an ex who was obligingly imported for me by a friend who then broke up with her after going through the whole rigamarole. She outlined the process, and that was quite a while back.

He was hoping she'd go back, she was like, fuck that and became best friends with his previous/current girlfriend (who had left the city and then returned) because they are... very similar. :>

edit: other than one is an elf and the other (the one I dated) a hobbit like me.
