    Tonight, I tell him I've moving out. I love him and he means a lot to me, but our relationship is failing to thrive. I've secured my own place and will be moving  in a week. I am using the four days I'd taken off for vacation to get the move done.

    I met with my therapist this morning to discuss how to talk to him about this. We made a plan. Now I feel sick to the stomach. I'm still okay with my decision, it is just hard.

    Stay strong! I admire you for making a decision and following through. I don't know your story but you posted in "waiting" so I assume he is failing to step up. If he wants to continue a relationship and potentially marry you, you don't have to live together to do so. Sending warm thoughts your way.

    I've been reading a few of your posts, and just wanted to lend some support. I know it's very hard to admit when a relationship isn't working and be the one to call it off. I just wanted to tell you that you're a very strong person, and I wish you all the best.

    @mermaideve:  I just wanted to say how PROUD I am of you for taking a stand.  I can only imagine how difficult this is for you, but your needs deserve to be met.  You are a VERY STRONG person for being able to asess your situation and not be afraid to make the best decision for YOU.

    I wish you the very best of luck tonight and with your move and just wanted to remind you that we are here for you.  ***Hugs***

    I wish I could have been as strong as you back in my 20s, before I wasted 10 years old someone.   Stay strong, but it sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and are a smart woman.

    Best of luck!

    Good luck. I was in a situation a few years ago where I knew we shouldn't be together but I wasn't as strong as you are. I stayed for a very long time--all because it was a comfortable, and I was embarrassed to admit it wasn't working to family and friends. Good for you. It's hard, but IT DOES GET EASIER. Faster than you will think.

    @mermaideve: I'm proud of you! Walking away is hard, but walking away from my last relationship was hands down the BEST thing I have ever done. Just take it one day at a time! Focus on making it through a day without him, then a week, then 30 days, and so on. And before you know it? He'll just be some dude in your past who will make you appreciate your future man more! {Hugs!!}

    You are indeed very strong and I'm proud of you.  I know it isn't fun, but if in your heart you know it's the right thing to do you can't go wrong.  I only hope that if I have to make this decision I handle it as well are you are!

    Good luck and keep us posted.

     

    Hugs!!!!
