Trying to decide between packing and staying.

High energy! I'm cleaning cleaning cleaning! I scrubbed the kitchen floor and anything I could reach from there. The kitchen looks good from the counters down. I cleaned the closet a bit and packed my first box! I know it's sad, but I really think Geo and I have no chance. I'm looking to move in mid-April, before my mom's birthday on the 22nd, so I can go with my brother and sister to bury my mom. I know I shouldn't be planning this if I'm trying to work things out with Geo, but I really don't think he can change enough so I can stay with him, and if he does change, that he won't change for long. I love him, but I'm not in love with him and I don't know if I can repair that. I'm reading a book to see how to fall back in love with him and I'm trying. I really want this to work, but I'm scared that it won't. When I'm with him and he's not mad, I want to stay. But when he's mad, or not around, I want to leave. I feel more and more like leaving since he's mad or not around. I do admit that I'm not with him when I can be, and that I'm taking more and more time on my own. I just feel distant, lonely, and that I miss the way we used to be. I just wish that we could get back there, but I'm also thinking that it's a fantasy land. I sugar-coat some things, and I think the past is one of them.

Hugs, my friend. What you are feeling is normal. But you can only change yourself, not him. If you feel that he is not there for you, then believe that. I wish I did. I would have saved myself years of heartache and tears. You will be fine. It will be hard, but you can do it. If you need to talk, message me and I will get back to you. Hugs again

after 12 years, love changes a lot. its a long time. is it possible that a big part of staying in florida was your mom and now that your mom is gone? either way, behind you 100% in whatever you choose. xxoo
