Oh no, now Cat has gone and done it, there will be no living with Mach now. LOL!

Pud, they are the best.

I wanted to say that I so know how you felt when you had that conversation. It was stuff you have been holding in for a long time. And you handled it with dignity and strength. Good on you.

But I also want to say that now you've said it all. He heard you. There is no reason to say all that again, right?

So, he is telling you where he is going because that's how this dance goes. You pulled away, so he moves a bit closer.

The thing is, and it is not easy for me to say this, Mach is right. Sigh....LOL!

Soon, you will see some indignation on his part. A kind of who does she think she is telling me all that mixed in with a little, holy shite, did she just tell me that?

It is best for you to let him sit with it all. He knows how you feel and now, he has to figure himself out.

I wanted to say, when I looked back at this time in my life, that I acted with honor and that I remained true to myself. I think you did that last night.

And now you get to continue on your journey.

You will get through this. You will come out the other side stronger. You will be able to say that you loved with all you had. So much that you let him go. That matters, sweetie.
