For the last six months i have been battling with my decision about ending things with my ex. I have gone back and fourth twice now and that is not fair to him. We talked alot over the weekend and it made my decision all the more harder. Well tonight I decided i am going to end things for good this time. I cannot take it anymore, he has hurt me way to much and I put up with alot more then i should have. I am going to see the therapist thrusday so she is gonifg to help me so I can let go finaly and be happy. One of my reasons for not wanting to let go is the fear of being alone. I have family and I am grateful but i have no one else. Even though we only hung out maybe once a year I could look foward to having some one to hang out with. So I will feel alone and that is my biggest hurdle to get over. I want a healthy reationship with a man, I have never had one.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm in a relationship that should be over too. But, I can't afford to live by myself. I don't even have a car but he does. So I guess it's more for affordability and convenience. Then there is the part about being lonely and I've lived alone before, for a 3 year stretch, so I'm very familiar with what that is like. It's just that apartments and transportation costs so much more than it did back then. My partner is constantly looking online for women. He has done this from day 1, 6 years ago, when I first took him to my apartment. He's so disloyal and untrustworthy. I think I've just grown use to it at this point.

You will not be alone for long.... Just enough to re-group.
At first it is tough to start over, without that familiar person, but once you do, it is just so empowering.
Maybe leaving this relationship will open the door for better opportunities or change the way he treats you in the future.
Everything will work out! Be brave :-)

Thank you both. It has been on and off for 5 years. He just hurt me so bad the last time that i am not sure I can do it again. I was betrayed and i cannot trust him. We live in different states for time being because he is in the Army. I know it will get better, i just need time.

Thank you. I would rather be happy and single then in an unhappy retaliation ship. I do have a dog and she makes me happy. I do enjoy scrap booking. I need to get back into that. I have one started that I need to finish. I do have hope and I reining myself everyday. I have God to.
