this is a tough situation... u need to sit down and figure out exactly what u want/need in life right now, and then tell him to do the same. then talk about it, talk about everything that u feel and everything he feels, dont hold back. thats the only way u can really find out what will work best for both of you.

Well im still banging my head against the wall. i look at him and crumble. Its so hard when there is this time limit on our lives together - 2 nights a week, which we are usually flat out.

i know i said i was going to sort all this out last week. i never thought it would be this hard to break away. i keep thinking "what if i am making a huge mistake."

Are you normally a person who like to control their environment, surroundings and what goes on in their life? Schedules, how and when decisions are made and on what time line, menus, route to and from places, etc?

Then it seems to me that the problem was not his leaving, it was his leaving on his terms & not yours; with you having no control over it or part of the decision.
More complex than that, but that being the core of the issue.

If it's what you want, it's never a mistake.

You can't always, especially in matters of the heart.

I don't know if this will help at all...but there've been times when I've just had to follow things through to the very bitter end. Even though there's a measure of comfort in being able to plan things out, and have some sort of idea how things will go, there are things like this that pop up that you just can't control.

I did suggest polyamory, you know. Then, what you want can change everyday, you go and get it, then you get back together with your primary partner and share exciting stories. Then, you get on the Cellar and share with us.

Win. Win. Win.

Sure, go for it. But watch out for their pimp....he'll fuck you up if he catches you smacking his whores.

Sometimes you just have to take a chance. The hard part is sorting out where you'll be when the dopamine levels drop. Is he the kind of guy you can make a good life with? Don't make the decision to not decide. There is loss in choosing a path but not choosing has no gain.

In this case I think not choosing could be a loss, if the damage already done is irreparable.

You know, I've always followed a certain main specification for deciding if I should be with someone or not.

If I can't decide that I *could* be with them, then I pretty much figure I *shouldn't* be with them.

This only applies to commitment. Casual boffing is not subject to the same criteria as it so greatly reduces the available talent pool.
