Mine. I couldn't take all the idiotic things he was putting me through any longer. I put up with far too much from that man for far too long a time. I walked away because I wanted him to grow up and take responsibility for himself and his actions. I couldn't stand the confusing influx of emotions any longer that kept flowing in because he was too scared to deal with them himself. To be honest, I just didn't stick around in his life because I was too scared I was going to smack him full-on in the nose.
His. He has always had the habit of running as fast as he could into
any opposite directions from where he should actually be going. His way of handling emotions and fights is to simply walk away. (Needless to say: I am his polar opposite in this. When I get emotional, I stay and I fight quite heavily.) He was the one who always said things like "I don't need a woman to be my equal", so he really walked away from me all on his own. He awakened far too fast and expected everybody else to pick up the pieces for him.
As you can see, it was very much a mutual decision to not have any contact for the time being. I could lie through my teeth and say that he did all of it, but then I'd be downplaying my own role in all the fights and arguments and cold shoulders and stuff. Oh, I do miss that though. I miss the way we clashed over every little thing just to keep ourselves on our toes. I miss how we squabbled about my logic not being his logic and how big his head got when I paid him a compliment. I miss all the crazy stuff we pulled together and all the nutcase ideas we laughed about when it was just him and me in a room. I miss the goosebumps and the half-smiles and the eyerolling, haha. Leaving the physical connection was very much a mutual decision, but I think that we're the typical examples of people who're already very powerful forces of nature when kept separate.. having us together in one room was like a natural disaster wrapped in Christmas packaging.. so, really, I think the decision to walk away was the smartest one we ever made as a team.
