How to end it when you really care about each other...but time & life get in way

[blue963]

Having a difficult time as we really care about each other but life, work, get in the way of connecting. I get very frustrated at myself for not ending this when this happens. He is a really wonderful person, but very dedicated to his work. (I support and admire what he does) but the self-respect issue comes into play for me. I know...either accept it or end it. Easier said than done. Any suggestions or how did you handle this?

 

Background (we are both married - me with children and he with none). Our main method of communication is video chat.

It is quite possible to care for someone but to end it. Sometimes it is the only way. Talking about hard choices.
