So after 2 strong and beautiful years with my cancer, I broke it off. Why? Because the last 2 months, we've been doing the long distant thing and it's been hell. If I missed a call, he says I met someone. If I answer after 3 rings, I won't hear the end of it for days. If I'm on facebook, he'll ask why. It's taking a mental toll on me. If he can't handle the long distance relationship, then I'm letting him free. Figure out what's important. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe not. Only time will tell. But I refuse to have a man make me feel worthless and out of my name because of his insecurities. I love him and will for a long time.

Good for you. Being in a loving relationship is about freedom in a sense, freedom to be yourself, to be open to life and its possibilities, etc. Not to feel oppressed, staggered, claustrophobic etc.

He needs to find himself again, he lost his identity in your relationship, went from being "Him" to being "We" and you letting him go will allow him to find himself again.
