Life is complicated

I dated a guy for about two years. We had good times and bad times. He is OCD, has a lot of anxiety issues, and cannot handle change in any form. He always appreciated that I was "the bendy one" meaning I was flexible and he was not. I broke up with him a year ago because I realized the idea of moving in together was stressing him out. He was really trying but he was so unhappy. I couldn't stand to see him looking so stressed and anxious, and knowing I was the cause.

After a year we are still friends. And this has been the hardest year for me in a very long time. Sometimes I get so mad at him because we aren't together. And after we go out "as friends" then I am so sad and hurt because we have such a great time. I just know that we could be together and be happy. But I also know he can't get past that anxious stage to just moving in together to see it isn't the end of the world.

I think it is time to break everything. Cold turkey. I need to move on...Even if I never find someone else, I could at least try. Right now I think I am in some kind of limbo. And it is painful. And I know he is gonna go all "Gotye" on me, but I don't think I can just be friends anymore.

I am not usually on such a downer. After all, fat women are supposed to be cheerful...and I usually am. Dang.

Hi KemChi, you still sound and look to me as a very positive person. I am sorry to hear about your painful experience but as we say: You can't do something nice by force.
So, choose the lesser evil. The path which will lead you to happiness. Everything that worries you and hurts you (regarding relationships) should be removed of your life. You put all your efforts but it's blocking your love life right now.

Good luck! wave
BTW the place you live, Kotka: "kotka" means "cat" in Bulgarian :)

it is sad but you already have your answer, move onwave
Awesome advice from all y'all. I think I just needed to give myself permission to do what I know what I have to do...(Validation?)

@Ariel: Kotka means "Eagle" in Finnish.

And dancing sounds like an GREAT idea!! I think Friday is ladies' night. lips
so have empathy and sympathy for u
@Fireball: It sounds like you know what to do, too!
Yay! Spent the day with my ex, daughter, and granddaughter...and I feel ok. The whole day I was thinking, "Yup, this is over." I am moving on! After today I am not going to agree to anymore invitations. I will be friendly but no more "just friend" dates.

Friday is Lady's Night and let's just see what happens. wine

Thanks for the boost, everyone!!
you are a very caring lady.teddybear
