It wasn't time I needed--it was courage and strength.
That's a declaration of truth if I've ever heard one. You are doing better than most with your ability to verbalize your needs. Paula |

I did it. I told him that it was over. It totally sucks, but it's the right thing.

I am proud of you. It isn't easy to hurt someone you have loved.
He will understand some day. Perhaps now you can both be at peace with each other. Sharon |

Thanks, Sharon.
This has been agonizing. I woke up New Year's Eve and just realized that things were not ever going to be able to be "fixed," no matter how much I had hoped they would be. I'm at a point where I can recognize my own part in this mess as well as his. I hope I learn something from all this pain. On the good side, I never have to stay in another relationship where I'm consistently lied to or manipulated. Those days are over. I need to forgive myself for the mistakes I've made and the ways I've allowed myself to be treated. Broken hearts heal one day at a time, right? |

DS-
Mighty sorry that you're dealing with a broken heart; try to take some time to be kind with yourself, and treat yourself well, ok? Warmest regards- Hatman

desertsutra,
This has been such a long and agonizing decision for you to finally reach. You have been through each side of it, going back and forth, and have given it every chance it could possibly have. On the one hand, you are sad that it has finally come to this, and on the other part of you sees that there is hope for a relationship with someone that is affirming and fulfilling. One day at a time, indeed! You are in my prayers. Blessings, Arnie |
