Trying to keep it together Hi, Galagirl. Yes, I have tried to wrap my head around breaking up with him. I know that saying it's complicated is cliche :) He has been my friend for over 20 years (I'm 41) and we have been together for 15 and living together for 9?? It get's fuzzy as he lived out...

Tried Communicating Again Ok, so I tried to start a discussion with my BF again last night. Just a quick, light, "So, did you hear back from human resources?" Response, "No. I forgot." :( I just kind of said, "Oh, okay." And then I tried to figure out how to get more words going between us. I...
