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?
Thanks for this!
