Thanks for the advice you guys. Though the idea is certainly not appealing, I guess it's best to get it over with...though I don't know if Christmas would be the best time for it. I suppose I'll wait and see if the opportunity arises and go from there... :/
I think I like the idea of writing a letter... at least I won't have to see his immediate reaction... *sigh* Suppose we'll see how it goes...

Btw, feel free, anyone, to offer more advice--not that this advice didn't help, lol, I just feel like I could use all the help I can get...
