Dear Luke,

I've noticed a shift in you over the last few weeks. I waited to say anything because I wanted to see if my feelings about the situation would change, and they haven't, so here I am. I want to preface this by saying this isnt me chasing reassurance, its me paying attention to how youve shown up. I'm not saying this to be mean or unkind; I'm saying it very matter-of-factly because I care about you. Your current behaviour is unattractive. I'm finding it hard to watch someone like you; you go about your life like this. As invincible as you think you might be, you can't run forever.
You're like a car that's stuck in the mud, that's at full acceleration but doesn't seem to be getting anywhere.
You walked all over me, and unfortunately, I give a shit.
You took my kindness for weakness. My room was not a storage space, and my house wasn't a place for you to stay after work. I don't know what's going on with you or in your world, but a whisper of honest communication would not have gone amiss.
My cards were very much on the table with you, you knew full well that I liked you, and at one point I believed the feelings were mutual. I'm not angry or upset because I expected this to be more than it has been, and I knew from the jump that neither of us was ready to commit to something on a serious level. However just because there are no committing binds (even though when I tried to cash in my chips, you made it exclusive) it does not mean there should be no respect and quite frankly you haven't shown that you respect me (considering you've been living at mine half the time and we have infact been seeing each other and sleeping together for 6 months). I don't want to feel like a beg for being a decent person who makes an effort. I made it explicitly clear that I am not playing these games, and you told me you weren't either, but here you are, playing the game. So yes, there was a reason I dropped your things off with your parents, and no, everything wasn't alright. The situation defeated me, and trying to set that boundary was all I knew how to do. I can't live in limbo forever. Maybe this is an overcommunication on my part but I thought Id just give it to you straight. My bad for believing you were better than this.
