Mort, I think that Kitty has summarised the difference between our two situations (and that probably explains why counselling was right for me and not for you). I admire your bravery and I'll be thinking of you.

Well done Mort. It must be difficult for someone as nice and sensitive as yourself, but think of the pain you'll be saving yourself. This would just go on and on if you didn't do something. I'm very proud of you. Just think of the good times you had, it was nice .....and now....time to move on.  |

Quite so, Milly. The last time I had a long-term relationship break up, once I was well and truly out of it (living in a different country, in fact!) I realised for the first time how depressive and grey my outlook on life had been for the previous couple of years, without my being aware of it. This guy will be losing someone very special, but that's his lookout if he chooses these pickled specimens instead:  |

Hi Mort,
These things are always difficult. If an outsider's view is any help I'd support the view that this guy's behaviour is awful and seems to show a great lack of concern for your welfare.
He has an awful lot of shaping up to do or go, I'd say.
I wish you luck and strength (though you seem to have plenty of the latter)

Well done! You'll feel better sooner than you think now that all the indecision and stress has been taken away. We're all here for you and you know my home number if you need a chat any time. xxx |

And 'I can't explain' suggests that he probably doesn't know and more importantly doesn't want to know.Sorry Mort but it really does sound like you're better off out of the relationship. Sounds like he's the one that needs therapy, not your relationship. I'm feeling a bit more perky this afternoon. |

Mort, I was just about to post a resounding "Hear Hear" to Richard's post when I scrolled down and saw that you had done the deed. I really hope you feel better soon.

Well done Mort. Move onwards.... there is someone out there for you I am sure, keep your eyes wide open and you'll see him! Have a long hot bath , listen to some music.... and 'Wash that man right out of your hair' Keep writing on the boards Mort... remember what happened to me  A |

I guess you're bound to feel wobbly after such a thing, but I agree with hh that 'I can't explain' is a very ominous sounding response.
Well done for taking the step. Time to treat yourself a bit I would have thought ...
