i understand. i am in a relationship that started young and has lasted a long time, and you do tend to wonder what else is out there. i made the choice to stick with this path, but i completely respect the choice to follow the other path. i think it is a smart thing to say. and as much as the break up will be hard, i think the reason will make her feel ok with herself because it's such a it's not you, it's me kinda thing.
also, peetster, i think he is respecting her choice, because he's not trying to convince her otherwise and he's not raping her. if he didn't have sex with her and was unhappy and stuck with it, that wouldn't be respectful of his own feelings. and it wouldn't be respecting her because he would be lying to her.
