Conclusion:
I would never break up with someone on e-mail... but you know what? This was not a romantic relationship! It was hardly a friendship anymore. It was a loose tooth hanging from a thread, waiting to be tied to a door and yanked hard (I always had a hard time doing that, as a kid). The "break" doesn't deserve being in person, or even in voice. The guy went at me with a hatchet this morning on the phone, and I was not interested in risking that again.
So, it was e-mail. I did it (with a lil' help from Sweetpea in chat, thank you
). I got tired of hemming and hawing about "his" standards, and took care of myself. I sent the damn thing, was not bitter but made it VERY clear that I no longer wanted a friendship with this person. I feel like there is far less drama potential on e-mail, than on the phone (esp with this guy). So, it is done, and I am SOOOOOOO glad.
YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: Sage, thank you so much for this in particular. It really gave me strength, because I feel like we were talking about the SAME GUY!
And I am so happy to have him out of my life, wow... such a weight off me.
