Viv, this message comes from a place of deep reflection and care. I want to start by saying how much I love you; you mean the world to me. However, I’ve come to realize that our relationship isn’t fulfilling the needs we both deserve. It’s hard for me to accept that we’re living in such different worlds—where I find myself longing for more connection and presence, while you seem to be caught up in a cycle of sleep and distant communication. I need someone who is fully invested in our relationship, someone who wants to share life together, not just through a screen. I’ve thought long and hard about this, and it pains me to say that I believe it’s best for both of us to part ways romantically. I don’t want you to feel pressured to choose between me and your other partners; that’s not fair to you. I genuinely want you to be happy, and I think we both need to take a step back to focus on ourselves. For me, that means taking a break from dating altogether to work on my mental health and strengthen my relationship with God. I hope you can understand that this decision comes from a place of love and respect for what we’ve shared. I want you to know that I still cherish our friendship and hope we can maintain that bond. I’m truly sorry for any pain this may cause you, but I believe it’s the right choice for both of us. Life is too short to be anything but genuine, and I can’t keep pretending that this situation is working for me. I’ll always hold a special place for you in my heart, and I hope you find the happiness you deserve. Take care of yourself, Viv. With love, Sam. I love you and wish you luck in life
