I agree with Echoes to write a letter stating what your needs are directly, but also to keep in mind that this may not be the person to give you what you need. Do you have a backup plan, are there other resources you can draw on?
We will certainly support you here during changes in your life; I know change is very hard for us...

I also suggest to practice some relaxation, self-soothing to keep you grounded during this time...If I relax enough and let faith in , things usually work out. (This sounds idealistic I know, but it really works...acceptance is so hard, but so important for us).
Sending positive thoughts your way B. Let us know how it goes and how you're making out.
A letter will not help. Self soothing definitely will.

I can talk to you guys more than to him.

I feel like he's round aboutly telling me not to bother him anymore.

I can't keep begging for what isn't there. I just wish again he'd been more honest with me about it. I don't even feel I can tell him that. Our relationship is superficial, I have realized.
