I’ve come to believe my joy brings him anger and we are extremely different and want completely different futures

if still on decent terms i would just be like hey can we talk? and have an honest conversation about why you don’t think you’re compatible anymore

I don’t actually think that will work in this case as he’s still 100% convinced we are ment to be and we are each others person

well that’s why you need to tell him why you don’t think so. he’s not going to automatically come to the realization that you need to break up, you need to have a conversation

well that certainly does complicate things a bit. calm collected conversation should be the same but i guess yall gotta talk about your lease and living situation.

ngl if you think this is the case... it's kind of toxic, but you might have to orchestrate something to get in a big fight about, because it sounds like he won't let you out otherwise

I’m afraid of that. We had a fight recently and I thought it was the one but my people pleaser instincts kicked in and he settled down and surprisingly compromised on something

if he knows you want out, he'll be more willing to compromise than usual (especially if he knows you're inclined to be a peacemaker)

I honestly don’t think he suspects anything is up
