I've read before on these board, from a vet, that all this talk about "the love of my life" is not really helpful in detaching, so I've stopped all of it. Even not saying IRL has helped. You're likely to reinforce this perception, which is the opposite of what needs to happen. Whether your sitch goes one way or the other, you need to feel like you don't need him. Try for a few days not to think of how much you're made for each other and see the impact on your PMA.

If the bond is as strong as you describe it, then you have that going for you. Something he can think about when OM gets complicated or boring. Put it in the asset column and move on.

Remember: all you're trying to do right now is to spend time. Think of your BF as a baseball that's flying in the air towards the left field. If you run towards to ball to be underneath, you won't catch it. You need to wait for the ball to come back down and be positioned where it will fall. A good fielder will patiently wait without moving much that he ball fall in her glove.

Patience. Nothing is going to happen today. You just need to get through the day, so make it as good and easy as possible.
