As the title suggests, the question for you is: do any of you have experience managing the FP relationship in a healthier way? 

My FP and I have been strong on honesty and communication from the beginning which worked well until we split ways and it went online. I am currently trying to reclaim my identity. Anyway, she is wonderful and I'd like to continue to be friends with her but not have her as my FP. In the process of revoking her FP status I would not like to hurt her. 

Any thoughts?
