You know, Nero, I can say all these positive things to you, like I do.
I dont think that's what you need to hear right now. The truth is, that he isnt saying anything to you that you dont already know, that he hasnt said or made you feel in one or another, right? This isnt new information.
I understand that you arent ready to let him go. And that is making you upset with yourself. If you arent ready, you arent, Nero. And its ok.
My friend, I do not agree with what you wrote regarding the knowledge of how special you are and what good is it if you cant have this relationship.
Who you were was plenty good for him for a long time. And then all his stuff came to the surface and he broke.
That doesnt negate all the years with him. It doesnt suddenly make you less special. What it does is make it hard for him to see beyond all his crap.
Hanging on, walking away or doing nothing are all choices.When the pain of how you feel outweighs the thought of letting him go, that is when you will let go.
Please dont let this define your life. Dont let it make you feel less than or unworthy.
No one get to do that to us unless we allow it. Dont allow it.
