Dear CB:

“he doesn’t believe I want him and I can’t imagine any life without him in it”- this is a severe miscommunication: did he not notice how important he is to you, all these years…?

I know very little of your story. If you want to, if you feel comfortable and would like to share more with me, please do: were you his first girlfriend and he yours; how did it come about that you never got married, is it something he didn’t want; what was the nature of your relationship all these years? And hen you say he is has been “a very good  man and very caring” all these years- in what ways has he been very good and very caring to you, to his son, to others?

If you choose to answer these questions, please take your time doing so (don’t rush).
