Dear Dr. S. I think we need to end things sooner rather than later. Trying to do this whole termination thing is stressful and I don't know if it is adding to my issues or not. Regardless, in the end you'll be gone and I will have to live with my life. If it is adding to the stress, having it be over will reduce that stress and possibly make other parts of my life be better.

Since my not wanting to let you go doesn't matter here; my wanting to hold onto you even past the end date doesn't matter... my wanting of anything here doesn't matter - it is going to end regardless. Why keep dragging it out? Why live in this pain? Rip the band aid off and move on. Maybe it will be the kindest thing I can do for myself and those around me; those that will still be around me.

love
