Wait a second. Why are you so stuck on this idea of him making you suffer? Why are you so unhappy? You might just be blaming him for your own problems. What has he done to you? Maybe you could sort it out. Maybe you should just step back and stop being such a drama queen. Maybe you're being oversensitive and your expectations are too high. I broke up with my boyfriend (wrote him a letter) because I was just so resentful, I thought he was making me suffer...I really regret it now. I love him, and I didn't have to do it, and maybe I shouldn't be giving advice at all when I need it myself. Feel independent, concentrate on your own life and what you want, start again. Pamper yourself and don't be dependent on him for your happiness. But if you're still in love with each other, you may as well still be together. I don't know. You're probably different from me. If you don't want a future for this relationship, you may as well break up with him. Sorry, this posting must be pretty confusing! The main message: Think.
