I’m breaking up with my boyfriend.  It’s not a pleasant feeling, but in some ways once it’s all over I know that I will feel better.  Breaking up is something that I have thought about for a long time, but I never had the nerve to go through with it.  Today was the last straw.  I have tried to be patient and understanding, but he’s really asking me for more than I am capable of doing.  This breakup feels better than the others because this time I am the breaker, not the breakee, but this breakup is harder because there’s a child involved.  I think that I stayed with him as long as I did because I wanted to keep our family together, but I don’t think that’s possible now.  Sorry for being so cryptic.  I just don’t want to air all his dirty laundry here.
