How a 30 year old *man* breaks up with the person he has been with for 4 years...

Hmm...this might be fun! I can let everyone know how a 30 year old man broke up with someone he was with for four years (and was supposed to marry):
This was the email I got on 9/7/2004:

You want to know what is going on.
I get my phone and I see you've called like a dozen times. You know the reaction that gets from me. I shut it down. And the only way I know how to cope is not answering the phone. It's my way of trying to get through to you. I was going to call you this evening cause you chilled out on it and then you called again.
I'm sorry it's come to this, but I can't deal with you anymore. I don't think us "doing this like adults" will work. It will be the same thing over and over. If we want to break the cycle, we shouldn't see each other to break up. Because it will just end up being the same old situation. You will ask "why I'm doing this to you" or "why do I deserve this". Then you will make me feel guilty, we'll both cave in, and we'll be back to where we are.
***, I love you more than anything, but you drive me crazy. Nothing can be easy with us. And we are in an unhealthy relationship. We are past the point of being able to repair this in my opinion. I don't feel I can talk to you anymore. I just don't know what to say to you anymore, and I don't want to do the same old conversation that goes no where.
I'm sorry.
Jeff

Aren't I lucky??? This should be a fun little experiment!
