Do you see what I'm saying, even if it's not making sense?

I am panicking slightly--because I know that the Editor believes that we are in a mutually exclusive committed relationship. Damn that C word. Damn it.

There's no tactful way to go about this.

I feel ridiculous: I'm always thinking, "I wish he would just tell me that he loves me...."

I have to leave him. I don't want things to get too serious. And by serious, I mean some kind of deep emotional involvement. I'm fine with being physical.

(Does that sound bad?)

I don't know what to do.
