Some people are already aware of this. I just a little help from people who will never meet me. My gf moved to Toronto after 2 years of dating. The plan was for me to move there too this summer once I finish my degree. While her leaving was very hard on both of us I believe she has fallen out of love with me. It's possible but unlikely that she is just too busy to have time for me but I doubt that. Anyway, I wrote a letter to her. I want to at least start this via email so I can be graceful because she deserves that and take some of the emotion out of it so I don't get frustrated, or just don't get too misty to say the words. I also want to be good about this so I get some karma points and maybe in the future I will meet another nice girl. If you see anything really stupid in here tell me. Look for anything that might seem "passive-aggressive" because whenever we did argue (it happens, right?) she used to always think I was passive-aggressive. Even when I wasn't! Try convincing someone you aren't being passive-aggressive when they think you are. Talk about an exercise in futility.
Thanks.

Dear %tickname,
I honestly don’t know if it is my fault or not but I have come to believe our relationship is over. As much as it hurts me to admit this I believe you may no longer love me. I have felt this is a possibility for weeks and continuing to try to think that we are still together makes life difficult. My dad asks me every day how you are doing and what you are up to. I keep telling him that you’re fine and loving Toronto, and that gets harder every day. I want you to know that while I’ll be very sad and disappointed if we break up I will survive. I believe every step forward brings us both closer to some form of happiness, though sometimes we must travel through adversity. It’s important that you know this so you can make the right decision. I’m afraid that you may have been unable to tell me that you no longer feel the same about me as you used to out of courtesy for my feelings. I must admit that after being with me for two years you know what I am all about. There is no point, clearly, in me trying to convince you to stay with me. I suppose there is nothing I can say at this point other than you have my love and admiration and I wish for nothing more than to be together. I fully intended to come to Toronto once I get my degree and work doggedly to provide a little money while you work towards your education and I try to work up to more lucrative work. If this is not something that you look forward to I want to quit trying to pursue that dream.
I’ve had a hard time convincing myself I should send a letter such as this one but waiting to see what happens with us has been agonizing. I have decided that if you love you me having received one stupid letter will not change that. And if you don’t, this will just make it that much easier for us to finally clear this up. I regret that this might seem like I’ve been a pest with this issue, especially if your lack of affection is just a result of being busy. If that truly is the case I am deeply sorry for troubling you with this email. As I said at the start of this, while I’ve been trying to believe that is the case, it has become more and more difficult. Which is why a couple day ago on MSN I was trying to explain that I can’t tell how you feel about me anymore because I don’t have the benefit of seeing it in your eyes or feeling it in your touch. I was trying to get you to tell me that you really love me or not. I am trying to be a gentlemen about this by not fighting it and bringing it up sooner rather than later.
If this is the end I want you to know that I continue to hold you in very high regard. I wish you every measure of success. If someday someone changes the world for the better is might as well be you! You brought many wonderful things to my life that I might not have had the chance to experience without you. Many of my fondest memories that I might have missed out on are some of the most simple. Going to that Stars concert, and experiencing being out on our own in %coord, working at the Legislature are some of the highlights. I want you to understand that whenever I did something nice you, making lunch or driving you to Kumon, for I was only trying to enrich your life as much as you’ve enriched mine.
Thank you,

Kumon is a place she worked at one point, stars is a band, blah blah. Figure it out. Any pointers?
Thanks.
