Dear Joe,

As you know I have been seeing a therapist to work through some issues that I have been struggling with for quite some time now, and I have come to the conclusion, with much pain I might add, that I need there to be some distance between the two of us right now.  I ask that you please respect my needs in this matter.

I want you know Joe that I am doing this for you every bit as much as I am doing this for me.  I just don't like who WE have become Joe, and I need some space to work through a few issues right now.  I hope that you can understand.


Love,

Laurie
