Those are all valid points steady, but I guess i don't to validate and just let her think she's right and I'm moving on. I guess that's the whole point of what I am supposed to do, but I'm also taking action to better myself and make sure I don't make the same mistakes in this relationship or future relationships.

You know as well as I do that this is touchy. She views me as weak, unable to stand on my own two feet, controlling, jealous, and clingy. Moving on would definitely show change in me, and it would show myself that I can do these things. The controlling has to do with my jealousy because she feels she hasn't been able to do certain things.

I just don't want to come off as weak little pansey. At the same time I don't want to be defensive and confrontational because that's how I would have acted in the past.
