This time, I found the strength to walk away (56)
------ This thread is Archived ------
Having been in a similar relationship,it's hard.
The love was there,the connection was there but
his insecurity ended it for me.Oh I loved him
but he was the jealous type and I hated the way
it made me feel.So,I let go and now I'm just
taking this time to just be me with no hassles,
no feelings of "Should I do this or that for him?"
just to make him feel better?!No.

In response to: It was on...it was briefly off...then it was full on again for another 7 months...then it was off. It started to be "on" again. This man that I fell in love with and who fell in love with me, as well...he and I simply cannot be what we want to be together. There are just too many obstacles in the way.
We started to fall into it again. We split in May, but started finding our way back to each other again in July. When my mother recently died, it was him that I turned to.
I have had a number of wonderful nights with him recently; last night was amazing. We went out to dinner, talked and laughed as we had always done together, went back to his place, had a truly beautiful time together.
Tonight, he is working. At his invitation, I went over to visit him and to pass some time together (again, as we used to do). But I hadn't been there long before I told him that I needed definition. I needed clarity about what was happening between us, for I refuse to go through the heartbreak again. I told him I needed to know now...tonight...before I become too weak again.
He told me he loves me, but cannot have the kind of relationship with me that I want. He is younger than me, I will be leaving Greece soon, etc.
I got the clarity I was looking for, so I thanked him, got up, told him I love him, and I left.
Walking away was the hardest thing I have ever done, but I know it was what I needed to do. I found the strength, somehow. And I haven't shed a tear, so it must have indeed been what I needed to do.
This isn't the kind of thread that asks for comments or replies, but please feel free to add some if you choose to.
If not, I just had to let it out.

Dear Thalassa:
I like to think that there is a point in life where whatever you do is right.
If you had stayed with him is right
(as long as it last or lasted)
you decision to leave him is right to.

tough choice , tough call. at least u know that ur not the kind of person who can just go on indefintely to "see where things lead."
I think we learn alot about ourselves in these situations to carry into the next relationship - that's a positive thing.

Sometimes we don't cry at first because it's too much to deal with at the time. There's nothing wrong with tears. Tears are the body's way of ridding itself quickly of pent up emotion that might otherwise damage us internally (hence, the theory goes, the increased longevity of women).
You asked the hard questions, got the hard answers, and made the hard decision.
I'm proud of you. With that strength of character, you will always come out a winner.
