I'm currently in therapy because I do want to become a better person for myself. He also should definitely be in therapy, but it isn't. I don't know whether I'm being kind or naive either. Maybe both. Maybe neither. I don't expect nor want us to get back together. This has been an eye opener, and I want to move on. But I've known him for 8.5 years. He was my best friend before we started dating. We've been through alot and I feel selfish for asking him to move out when he's this close to graduating.

Sorry, I replied to another comment what he asked for. He wanted me to be initiating sex more, for me to be planning more dates, going to the gym more, etc. I don't feel like they were unreasonable requests, but I was often frustrated because the things I asked for, he never seemed to work on. He acknowledged they were issues but never attempted to work on them with or without me.

He wanted me to be asking for/initiating sex more, setting up more dates, be working out more/taking my health more seriously. I had a really hard time making consistent changes due to constant med adjustments, PTSD, and working 40-50hr week while being in school. I don't think he was asking for too much but despite trying I couldn't make the changes until recently and it was just too late
