And still don't. Seems like simple things you asked for, but they came, and went, and things got messy and confusing and should have been simple. And I'm sorry for that, and I've said so, but I'm saying it again. And so I stopped. I ended it. I did what you've called "the one proactive action" in the relationship. It wasn't the only one, but that's not important. I want happiness for you, and that can only exist without me. And I want happiness too, and that can only exist without the messy struggle our relationship had become. And so we move on. I didn’t know how to be that person for you. And still don’t.
