I have a penpal from across the state who I share my troubles with and discuss a number of intellectual topics with. He doesn't seem to see it as me taking advantage of him. He normally just comments on them, doesn't open up in return though(did once or twice about a breakup, but he doesn't have many problems). My life is kinda pathetic right now. But I kinda feel like if I weren't "reporting to" him anymore I'd feel that making changes would be easier, like he wouldn't be watching anymore. But I've been talking to him for months and we starting to get close, and maybe become friends too. But friends tend to keep track of each others' lives rather than just talking about abstract social issues and ideas we have while living our disparate lives, and I would definitely miss all the discussions, but I don't think I can keep talking about nothing. I feel like if I could have a month or two I could make something. Should I (somehow) tell him I don't want to email anymore, or alter our relationship? I've already scaled back the emails to once weekly and I can barely write a few lines at that. I just don't know what at all to say to him.
