Hi Roberta,

thank you for your reply. I do feel that it was what I had to do. Perhaps I should clarify that we have not officially ended things and currently the break is taking place. I imagine there will be a conversation at some point, initiated by him.
As for open relationships, I fully understand that that is something that looks appealing to him, imo he is traditional to the T and would not be excited about such arrangement but that is for him to find out, not me.
Currently, I am curious what he will say when the time comes but I am also just living my life as always.
