Hi Anita,

Thank you so much for that reassurance. I feel embarrassed that I feel so sad about losing this relationship, while he doesn’t seem to be nearly as upset. I wonder why I feel like I am losing so much and he doesn’t. Probably because he was always catering to me and my emotional mood swings while I didn’t really do much for him. You say I am not losing anything, but I feel like I am losing someone who got along with my family, loyal to me,  smart/educated and financially stable, kind and compassionate to my emotional states, my best friend and confidant. It’s been almost 2 years since we began, and I dread the idea of my life without him in it, even in the virtual sense. I can’t imagine not being able to pick up my phone and call or text him when I feel nervous or sad about something, or just want to share something about my day. I worry that my days have already become so lonely, to lose him on top of everything, I’m just terrified.
