<human>: My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year now. We have had our ups and downs, just like any other couple, but the last couple months have been steadily going downhill. I started seriously thinking about breaking up about a month ago but was not able to make a decision, but promised myself I would come up with a solution during a trip we just took. 

While on the trip, I decided it would be best for both of us to split up, but as soon as we got back from the trip he told me that he has a big surprise trip planned for Christmas. I was ready to break up with him and now I feel trapped by this "surprise Christmas vacation."

Our relationship isn't bad, maybe even fixable, I just know that he is not "the one" and that we could and should move on from this relationship. Plus, he makes my life a lot easier when it comes to bills and other things like that. Should I end it now or should I try to stick it out a while longer?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
