The 2nd one - I would never say that to him (even though I feel it sometimes) because I wouldn't be able to go through with leaving him if he said "ok, bye". But when I look honestly at myself - why would I want to stay with someone who doesn't want me to be the best me I can be?
Therapy material right there, huh. I want to be strong enough in myself to say that and mean it and back it up with action if it came to that. But I know I'm not.

Just a thought, art, but instead of aiming for a phased in termination, why not aim for therapy as needed? That way, you can do life with or without therapy based on whatever you need at the time?
