This is it......

I know I'm going to be verbally assaulted for posting this here, but you know what? I can handle it.

Today is the day. As many of you know, my partner and I have had a tumultuous relationship, and we've been living together, just being comfortable and not wanting to move, for awhile. Well, today I'm leaving.

This is both easier and harder than I thought it would be. For one thing, I'm leaving this relationship with very, very little (less to pack). For another, its been 'over' for a long time... it would sort of come back together for a moment or two and we'd be happy and then she'd remind me of why I wanted to leave in the first place. She always threatened to leave. I never did. I very calmly told her yesterday that I'm leaving this weekend.

We've been together for 6 years (since I was 19 years old), so this is definitely leaving a big chunk of my life behind. I think it will be better for my physical and emotional health.

So today I am packing up my stuff and my 2 dogs and gettin' out of dodge. I'm upset that things didn't work out, because I tried really hard to be accomodating and understanding and love her the best I knew how. It still didn't work.

So thanks in advance for any supportive comments.
