I asked him if that was the last one because I wanted to clarify. I tend to get so upset when people think I'm asking them for something. He treated this like I was requesting to meet again after March. He asked if March was our last meeting was that was ok and I replied "yes, well no, but yes if that makes sense". He said it doesn't have to be our last time. I told him that I know he wants to put his old life in the rear view mirror, but he said that wasn't it, he just wanted to provide some closure to our ending. He said he'd think about it. He asked if I would want to meet more. I told him that was a stupid question, of course I would. I wasn't even asking for more! I just wanted to clarify so I can go into it aware. I really enjoy talking to him though, so I would like more.
This is where I feel P has done you a great disservice. As he's drawn out his leaving for over the past two years. You've been left in a space of uncertainty rather than resolution. It's understandable that you would want more time with someone who has been such an important part of your life.

Perhaps it might help to think about what YOU need for yourself in this transition—whether that’s setting a boundary, or expressing your feelings openly. How can you honour this connection with P while still moving forward? Could processing it all with another T help?
