It's hard for me to tell you this, but in the past few months, I have been seriously thinking about ending our relationship. I've decided that I've just been too dependent on you, and I feel that at the age of 35 it is time that I start being more independent. I thought about just maybe seeing you once in a while, but I don't think that would work. Eventually, I'd start relying on you all the time again. I feel the only way to end our relationship is to end it for good.

I've always included you in everything I've done but next week, I'm going on a trip, and I've decided not to take you along. I feel this would be a good time to break up. I will be gone a whole week without you and if I can make it on my own for that week, I know I can make it forever.

It is a little sad for me knowing that I won't be able to rely on you anymore, but I think I will be a better person in the end.

Sincerely,

Letty Gogh
