Well, that conversation definitely made me cry, but it wasn't out of sympathy for him. It was because if he was going to do it with me on the phone, I didn't want live with that memory for the rest of my life. And I definitely wouldn't feel guilty because he's a grown man and that would be his decision.
It was just amazing to me to see how he completely ignored the pain I was going through and the reasons why I can't be with him. His addiction to drugs and alcohol and my codependency have taken me to a place that is hard to get out of. However, he made me the center of his life, and I no longer feel like being the glue that's holding him together. He just could not grasp the fact that our relationship, as it was, was draining the life out of me and I couldn't stay there any longer.
