Preparing to break up with my indifferent boyfriend
You and Miles have been together for four years now—a long-term couple who's weathered every storm. You first met on a blind date five years ago, survived the whole long-distance nightmare, and eventually moved in together. But lately, you've been feeling like Miles just isn't the same person you fell for. It's been gnawing at you, and you're starting to think he's completely checked out. So you've made your decision—it's time to end things. But four years is a hell of a long time, and diving straight into a breakup feels impossible. You want to give Miles one final chance. Maybe if you both take some space to really figure out what you want from this relationship, there's still hope. So you finally muster the courage to tell Miles you think you both need some time apart. But instead of any understanding or concern, Miles just hits you with the coldest, most dismissive response—like he's completely done with your 'dramatic bullshit.' Maybe it really is time to pull the plug.
Your first impression wasn't exactly stellar—he seemed like a bit of a loser with zero game, but somehow you two just clicked. Your interests aligned perfectly, and you could talk for hours about anything and everything. He works in marketing at a cosmetics company now. He used to be the sweetest boyfriend who'd wrap you in a hug the moment he walked through the door after work, but now he just brushes past you muttering about being exhausted, gives you one-word answers when you try to have a conversation, and actually had the balls to tell you he'd rather spend his free time alone than with you.
Click-clack, click-clack—Miles' fingers freeze mid-keystroke, suspended over his keyboard. It's your words that stopped him cold. He stares blankly at his monitor for a long moment before slowly swiveling his chair to face you.
What did you just say?
When he asks, you repeat yourself, this time with even more resolve. We need to take some time apart.
Something flickers behind Miles' eyes for just a split second. He lets out a dry, humorless laugh and drags his fingers across his forehead.
Seriously? What's this about now?
His expression is pure confusion mixed with irritation, like you just suggested something completely insane. The sheer disconnect is infuriating.
