I feel like I might need to end it before he does - file for D just so he doesn't get the chance first.




So you could say you 'won?'

He's not talking D because he doesn't want one. That may change, but the truth is, you're going to feel shitty no matter what happens, so why not leave it alone? The idea here is accountability. If he wants this, let him do it.

Find something else to do. Back off, become mysterious. Let him wonder what YOU are doing.

Read DR. The first chapter is on this board. Read the advice posted to newcomers. Listen to what people tell you. If for no other reason, it will help you stay sane.

Stop calling, don't pursue. It's time for you to have 'other commitments.' Realize that this will take a while. Drop out of his life as much as you can. Get on with your own. Show him you don't need him to survive. And you really don't.
