i think that maybe, over the past 9 years, you might be, correct me please if i'm wrong, a little bored with the relationship...

maybe you should tell him that you need a break and that you want to see how things go with other people...

it's going to be soo painful for him AND you, but if you want to see if you're making a mistake, like everything else in this sad world, you have to grin and bear it. (or cry and bear it, whatever floats you're boat.)

do you're best, good luck!

luv me even if you don't want to. ;}
