text: what would you do? i was finally able to break up with a man i know will not make me happy.  i did fall in love with him but he is too imature, among other things.  i would like to keep in touch but everythime i see him he tries to sleep with me.   i no longer feel the need to be with him but do care for him. what can i do to make him undestand that i need my space. i need to put my thought together & figure out what i want. he seams to think i belong to him. leave him.  you are no good for him.  by this i mean you must be a happy, complete person before you get in a relationship.  it is not a partners responsibilty to make you happy.    you don't need to make him understand.  ending it is enough.  it's his responsibility to make his peace with it, not yours.   reflecting on your life and figuring out what you want is great.  and things change so it's a good idea to stay in touch with yourself 'cuz your wants can change.  no one belongs to anybody, again his problem to deal with.
