How DO you breakup?
Mon, 07-12-2004 - 1:52pm
I've been living with my boyfriend for almost 2 years. I sold my house and most of my belongings to do this. My boyfriend has been alone for a lot of years and is very self-centered. He makes his plans and does what he wants without a thought of me. When I make plans and do things with my friends I get the silent treatment and he bashes my friends. Lately he has said things that people who love each other just don't say. He pays all the household bills and I buy the household items, groceries, etc. This was how he wanted it in the beginning. I know he will never marry me and I want a home to live in not an apartment. We do not seem to be able to talk to each other. Red flags all over the place, I know. I pretty much want to leave but don't know how to do it. I worry about hurting him even though he does not care much about hurting me.
