I agree with what you're saying, lump, but I would say that is the specific cultural spin on the myth. Sort of the texture or color overlaying the substance. Like the church took this nugget of truth and decided to use it as an opportunity to talk shit about the ladies, 'cause, you know, they were going to get to that at the meeting next Wednesday, but they might as well throw in on the Eden myth thing while they're thinking of it.

That nugget of truth, I think, is about leaving behind the Garden (the place of animalistic bliss where there was no morality or conscience) and entering into the complicated realm of people-hood and self-awareness and good and evil and all that craziness.

I'm with all the others on this, Jes.

I know you've been with him many years and it's hard to imagine living another way. Maybe this situation can go on and on, and you'll continue to adapt to it.

But I do think you can live a better life, and I think that you sound just about ready for a real change.

This might seem cut and dried, but yes, you have to get rid of him. Prepare yourself in any ways that you can, and do it. Don't feel guilty, don't hold hope for it getting better, don't feel you need any easily explainable reason. This relationship has been a source of frustration and unhappiness for you for a long, long time.

There's no point trying to second-guess his behavior, or even your own right now. It's very hard to see the situation when you're in the middle of it, but believe me-- once he's gone, and you've given yourself some time to adjust (which might be difficult and painful at first, but you can take it), you're going to be able to look back on the relationship with a clear mind and heart. And I'll bet you anything in the world you want, you'll be saying "Why the Hell did I put up with that for so long?!?"
