Cubile: It seems to me like if you just briefly said what you've said in your OP, that would be fine. I mean, first of all, you have the right to change sponsors whenever you want and all you have to say is "This isn't working for me; I need to find another sponsor." If you want to go into the fact that you seem to be feeling more of a sense of urgency about your program, that's fine, but you don't have to explain or justify yourself.

It's not uncommon for people to go through a couple temporary sponsors before they find someone who really "clicks" with them. (Although, if one finds oneself in a pattern of finding fault with sponsor after sponsor, then that might be an indication that the true problem is with the common denominator in those situations!)

When you talk to your current sponsor, just be sure to keep the focus on yourself and what you need. If you do that, he has no reason to be hurt or offended and, if he chooses to be so, that is on him, not on you.

Good luck -- freya
