<human>: Just wanted to update you guys. Previous postings on finances & infidelity [here] and learning about lying about # of kiddos [here] and [here](

In short, I am a coward. Being without him scared the heck out of me and every time I ended it, I would flip-flop a couple of days later begging him to stay. I'm every terrible stereotype.

Fast forward to two weeks ago. I end it, mean it, and plan to stick to it. He plans to move out of state to be near to his mom & where he has a job opportunity (which is great). My resolve to break up lasts one full week of him packing his things - one of the hardest weeks I have ever had. I change my mind again because he's really trying to show me he's better, changing. I tell him that don't want him to leave.

I say that the only way we had any hope in hell of making this work is to go to counseling, live together & work on our trust / intimacy / financial issues every day. Turns out, he chooses to leave anyway because of 1) the constant up-and-downs have screwed with him; and 2) to improve upon one of our points of contention - that he doesn't contribute to the household financially. 

He says that he still wants to make it work - wants to do long distance and says that this could be the thing we need. I take this as a sign (since all of the others weren't?). No. If I can't trust you to stay faithful and honest when you're living in my home, I certainly can't trust across the country.

He moved last Wednesday. And honestly... I'm doing okay. So although it wasn't the dramatic breakup where I stand my ground and tell him I deserve better... it's over. I am beginning to see a counselor to get a better insight as to why I put myself so far down this rabbit hole. Thank you everyone for your help. I'm sorry that I wasn't better at taking your advice from Day #1.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Although I didn't stick to my guns, the end-result was still the same. And I'm doing okay.
