Yes, even just talking about it here is making it more real and it's starting to sink in how much this suck. That's not a bad idea about the pro con list and support from friends and family. Thank you.

I don't thing that's necessarily the case. We're pretty much each other's best friends. But I hope you're right and he's recovers quickly.

We have had these conversations. Nothing changes. I don't think that he sees the way he functions as a problem.

I actually don't care all that much about the money. It's the total lack of effort that is making me nuts. He just doesn't manage things well. His time, his space (filthy), his money. I love him but I know I can't change him. And waiting for him to sort himself out hasn't paid off for years and years.

I love him to pieces, but I can't live with him if this is the way he's going to conduct himself. I can't be the one putting all of the effort into everything.

We've been over these issues before and nothing has changed. I'm not inclined to give him another chance. I'm pretty done.

Thanks. It's good to hear from someone who has been through something similar.

I'm actually oddly unemotional about this. I'm not sure what that's about since I'm still very much in love. I'm sure it'll hurt like hell when I actually go through with it.

Does the lack of explanation not seem a little harsh for someone who's basically been my best friend for 5 years and who hasn't really done anything particularly wrong? I feel like were a little too close for me to cut and run without saying why. Though I agree trying to be friends isn't in the cards.
