Finished
Once and for all, I told him I'm finished today. It's the hardest thing I've ever done and this is the most pain I've ever felt in my entire life.

Hi there. I've been stopping by from PB's site. I have wanted to say something for awhile now but haven't.
I wish you luck in your journey because that's exactly what this is. You are wise to handle it with conseling, writing, and introspection though. You will be better off down the road for taking the time to process not just the "failed" relationship but yourself as well.
You're very brave, E. I know it's hard to end a relationship that was once full of love and promise.
The feelings of pain and failure are unavoidable, I'm afraid, so just embrace them for the lessons they hold and then let them go. Your present sorrow is the starting point for your journey toward sweeter love, greater joy, and--most importantly--increased self-awareness. Should you find yourself stumbling, remember that you are nevertheless moving forward, toward a healthier, happier future. Don't be afraid to lean on your friends when your knees get weak.
Every ending gives birth to a new beginning, and a new beginning means a fresh start, a new perspective, and a field of endless possibilities stretched before you. Just imagine!

PB: "Is the promise gained worth the price of the pain, are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt...." Dan is an absolute favorite of mine. Thank you.
Jeni: Thanks also for your words and knowing I have people, even ones I don't know, who are being supportive of me is quite comforting.
I think you are very brave in admitting how painful this is for you, and I watch you go through this terrible experience with much dignity and, more importantly, self-evaluation...of what you want, what you need, and what you expect for the future, however uncertain it may be for you (isn't the future always uncertain?). Know that I am praying for you and that I am always your friend.
