Dear blkhwkdwn1:

“She was the light in my darkness so in a way it was like an angel but I can live without her love”- like I wrote to you before, this thread is nothing less than a beautiful love story. You are the loving man in it, telling the story. So glad you can live without her love though (love should not be deadly, if it is, it is nor really love, I figure).

“I also wonder if it’s a wise choice to just end things for good”- I think it is not a wise choice to end things with her for good.

“Perhaps I just need  to tell her I am disappearing for a long while and when I am ready to come back I will reach out again”- this is a better choice.

“If she says she hopes it’s short, I’ll just tell her it will be many many years”- better to not commit to a specific length of time, not to a month, a year, or many years. I would stick to “a long while” instead.

Do let me know how your day progresses and what happens next, will you?

*”what if she’s having a bad time recently? I can’t exactly tell her ‘We can’t be friends anymore, sorry'”- you mean when you talk to her next, before you block her?
