It's over. We've had a lot of bumps and things to work through - nothing that was wrong with the other person... just personal stuff - but we've reached a point where it's just too much.

He's taking some time away from it all to work on his issues and do some deep thinking without the added pressure of having to worry about the relationship.

We had a nice, calm, rational discussion, and I'm okay. Honestly. This
was best for both of us, and if he can work through these things, we'll try it again. He still wants me and wants it to be good again, so he needs to do this (break it off) to see if that can happen.

I've sort of gotten *myself* back over this last month or so of knowing things were going to end. That's why I say don't worry about me. I haven't cried in quite some time, which shows I reached the "acceptance" phase before it ended tonight.

If he can deal with things successfully, getting back with him won't be a Bad Move. Please trust me on this. I'm talking as Sorcha, with no walls put up. You have me in the flesh right now, and that's quite rare. If he can get through this, we will be great again. I've never doubted he's the one for me, and I'll always believe that.

He is not out of my life. We can't imagine our lives without each other, and part of him still wants to do this. It was a hard decision, but it was the RIGHT decision.

Thanks for being supportive, even if I never told any of you this through email, IM, or whatnot. You don't realize how much it meant to me just to know I was loved and that there were people I could turn to if I chose to do so.

I love you all. Very much.
