If it aint broken, why fix it?

I simply can't be the only one with this issue... I know every reason why I should break it off with the MM, yet I seem not to be able to...

We have known each other for 21 years and have been sexually intimate for 16. We have gone long (2+ years) stretches without seeing each other and yet, we haven't managed to make a complete break. Our pattern is to talk on the phone and spend all of our face time in bed. He is without a doubt, the best sex I have ever had. We have been known to say only hello, get naked, and go at it until we are both sweat soaked and spent, occasionally to the point of passing out...

We both have wanted to end it, but when I say end it, he agrees, then pursues me. Him saying it should be over is the surest way to get me to pick up the phone to chat.

We have little in common except physically, aren't known as a couple, don't have mutual friends, just mutual business.

It seems that anger and frustration leads to final breaks, but I can't get angry at him, we both went into this with eyes fully open... white picket fences and sunsets weren't at the end, breaking up was. So, just how do you walk away from amazing sex?

Hi.

Helllooooo......I don't see any pain in your letter. So why end it?

C'mon. After 16 years you'd figure if there was truly a reason to end it, you would have found it. Why not thoroughly and completely and unabashedly commit to enjoying what you have? Some people will die never having experienced the kind of sex you experience with this guy.
