What's he really saying?
Find a Conversation

My family is renting a house in Spain next Feb. for a month. I'm thinking of spending a few days with them, and asked Bob last weekend if he wanted to go with me. Bob said no, because he's not sure he'll feel up to it. He wrote me the email below which said, in part:
".... i know i am holding you back because of whats wrong with me. i know you want to do all this stuff but cant because of me. i feel very bad and sad because of that. im thinking i should let you out of this relationship so you can enjoy life the way you want to. believe me i want you to stay with me in the worst way but last nights conversation made me realize how much im holding you back. you are the most beautiful woman i have ever met. you are so intelligent and talented and "with it" that i have forever wondered how i am so fortunate to have ever met you. You have so much to offer a partner that i dont know how i will ever feel like im doing my share. Sorry to be so brutally honest but thats how i feel. part of me wonders if i'll ever get over whats bothering me completely and if i dont then i wonder if whats left will be good enough for you."
What's your opinion of this letter? What's Bob really saying and how should I take it?

he may be offended but it will help. there he may be able to pin point the problem and if they are unable to help him they will find resources necessary to get him over this hurdle and help him to feel like his old self
