FINALLY - it ends tomorrow

I stuck to my guns and moved into my airbnb on 10/22 with my daughter.

He was looking for an individual therapist without much luck. I found us a couple's therapist, but she couldn't start seeing us until Nov/Dec. We had a first meeting in October and it was just a meet and greet/intro. She said that while we were waiting for couples counseling (btw - the office was near my house so it required him to drive 2 hours to attend), she wanted to see me 1:1 for at least 3 visits. XBF said that was fine with him.

Update - never saw that coming

As a follow up to our breakup. I left XBF's mountain house last Monday and headed to my Airbnb. Once there, I reserved muscle (movers) to move my stuff out of his house in 2 weeks. I got a quote for a moving van. I disconnected from him on my Garmin cycling app. I deleted our group on Splitwise (how we shared bills). I canceled my Xfinity account at his house - he knew about that. I also changed my address on most of my banking accounts and other places that send me mail. I had a plan and was ready.

We broke up - quick and easy

I am currently at the mountain house my XBF owns. I had a prior commitment to volunteer for a cycling event in the area, and I brought my daughter up with me. Nice buffer.

I asked him Saturday night why he was so unreceptive to affection I was offering when we went to bed. I told him I feared he wasn't interested any longer. (I've suspected for some time that he wasn't attracted to me any longer, so I guess I was seeking confirmation even if I knew breaking up was inevitable.)

Update to the sweet life

So, as is always true with life, you have to take the bitter with the sweet. Thankfully, my life is mostly sweet.

Since my last post, when my BF asked to put breaking up on ice, I have spent very little time at his mountain house. He's been busy with handling his mother's estate, and I have been preoccupied with helping my daughter get settled in the area. I've been spending a lot of time with my adult kids and my wonderful friends.

The end of the sweet life.....or just the beginning??

I love my partner of 4+ years despite his moods, and crappy conflict "resolution" and communication "skills."

2023 has been a year for me.

Family dog died of an accidental poisoning while my son was dog sitting her for my XH1. She was very old and might have been able to fight it, if not for her failing kidneys. Very traumatic for the kids (20s and 30s) and me.
