In a move that surprised not only my boyfriend, but surprised me, I dumped him.
I wanted more.
He wasn't upset about the e-mail, in fact, he acted like nothing was wrong between us.
But I knew that he'd never move more forward than at the stage he was at right then.
He told me so, once upon a time.
I realized that even though the story started with "once upon a time" it wasn't going to end with "happily ever after."
I want a "happily ever after" in my life.

There is nothing to say save the strength of conviction desired is a mighty powerful thing to know you have. My thoughts are with you.
Wow! Surprising, but sounds like it is best for you. From what you've written over the past few months, the relationship had hit a holding pattern. It's good that you look at your needs and realize that they were not being met. I admire your strength and courage. I hope you're okay! My thoughts are w/ you too!

I did the same thing. A few months later, I found my fairytale. It is about two broken people who are healing each other. I wish you all the best.
Good for you, Sipper. Now you can slough off that particular skin, open your eyes and see what else is out there.
Yay you!
Everyone: Thank you, I'm doing really well actually.
I don't know whether it was the fact that I finally realized what I wanted, or that it was such a clean break up, but in any case these last 48 hours have been a relief instead of a burden.
Sounds like you made the right choice, sweetie.......
Wow. It must be break-up season. I left my own boyfriend a month and a half ago. I like your delayed and then blatant honesty. I do the same thing.
