“Gabe, I have thoroughly enjoyed this last week with you but I am finding that my emotions are engaging even though I have tried to keep them out of it. (I would not include this part....no need to let him know that you are affected emotionally. Maybe you should just open with something about needing to speak about what has been going n the past week.) There is just too much history between us and the feelings I have had for you through the majority of my life have surfaced again. Our past has come back to haunt me and I need to separate myself from it in order to maintain my mental health.Again, I wouldn't discuss your emotions this way. Why let him know how it is effecting you, or give him a weapon to use against you. I’m sorry if this disappoints you or makes you angry with me but I need to do what is good for me and being involved with you sexually with no love or commitment is causing me to feel like a tramp. is not good for me. Please forgive me for complicating what is already a complicated situation.”
