I am so enthralled by the power I know I have to walk away from this relationship - and he doesn't even know it.

Just too many red flags - after wonderful weekends, out of the blue it will be him being snippy and being rude, and me with no idea what I have done to provoke him.  I actively got off the phone with him tonight because I just didn't want any more time with him.

He regularly misreads what I want, will take initiative to set up calls or 'I asked this person to do this for you...' just completely unable to respect me.  I told him something he was doing wasn't respecting my agency and his response was sarcasm.  He has a friend who works at a big tech firm; said he would introduce us.  I said, 'give it a couple of weeks'.  he goes ahead and does it anyway... "oh I thought you were being polite".

I see clearly why he's been single.  Damaged fruits should be left on the jungle floor.

I have not let him forget that he told me that I should 'grow up' about something.  I probably shouldn't hold onto that, but it was a gross moment.

I take this entire thing as a way to safely practice my communication and boundary setting - kind of like going on a job interview for a job you're not passionate about but it's good to get the practice in. 

He's not a rebound exactly, but I had a sense it wouldn't work out.  And this is fine! I will walk away after about 6 months and I won't miss him because I know I can do better.  In 6 months he also hasn't once said anything remotely expressing love.  So fuck him.

He inherited a good amount of money and just sold his dad's house.  He will bring these things up.  I wonder if he knows how dysfunctional he is and this is a 'please stick around' plea.  Does he expect it to work? 

I definitely want someone to take care of me - that much is for sure.  Where can I find the successful woman to date? My plan will be to find a great woman to be with.  Even if she's not perfect, it will be a transition away.  I don't need male energy right now.  I will find a therapist and a girlfriend.  I will be calm in breaking up with him and who cares how he reacts.  I will be direct and unemotional - I'm not getting my emotional needs met and we have communication challenges so it's best to split is the message.

I don't care if he's upset.  I'm sure he will hurl insults and reveal who he is and my response will be clear - "I'm sorry you feel that way".  And block him, completely.  I will need to get a tattoo to remind me to stay focused on my goals and stop wasting weekends with him.

I deleted the last voicemail Andy sent me.  I will do the same for all the other people in my life - simply erase them.  They were never there to begin with.  It will be an amazing life without them
