Aww Wallace you have a hard decision to make your boyfriend sounds like someone i was with for years. I moved on but still part of me wishes he would just come sweep me off my feet, but that's not who he is. He's just wired so different from me and he doesn't show emotion. And yea, it was lonely with him.

You are a really sweet person and you love him but you're not happy. Yet you stay with him, then you think there's something wrong with you and now you're depressed. You shouldn't have to live like that. There is a saying, Find your happiness. And it's true because no one can do it for us.

Only you can make the decision for yourself to stay or to leave the relationship. You ask how to move on without hurting either of you... not really possible, it will hurt... Sadly it just is part of life. You can let him know you will always care for him and value your friendship. You can say you're sorry to hurt him. And then you move on, and be strong and take care of your health and heal. I wish you best of luck with everything.
