Welcome Artlady! Sounds like your ex is a materialistic individual, whereas you are artistic, altruistic, and intrinisic! 'Things' cannot bring you happiness, and it seems his fiance is a 'thing' having been engaged for 4 years as it appears he's got her hanging by a string (perhaps waiting for some'thing' better). You, too, can go to Europe and I'm certain would enjoy and appreciate the history and art far more than your ex! Chin up! Less really is more!
