Walking away

[jess060191]

Hi everyone,

 

Been quite some time since I have posted on here. I was dating someone for a little over a year. We had many ups and downs. We both had our faults but I wanted this man to be the one for me so badly that I toughed it out even though I should have walked away a long time ago. Though he has a good heart and a good man in general, he was mean to me in many ways. And we argued a lot. Last week I finally walked away from him and ended things. I am proud of myself for walking away but I am so sad. I miss him, not going to lie. I often catch myself regretting my decision and wishing he would realize what he lost. I know in my heart I made the right decision but it’s just really hard. I guess I am venting more than anything. If anyone wants to share any insight I would truly appreciate it.

 

Thank you,

Jess

You made the right call. Allow yourself to mourn having a relationship. It's ok for a heartache to hurt for a while.

Reconnect with some friends, family, coworkers, alumni, etc. over the holidays. Reach out to people. Stay connected.

I’ve had plenty of relationships and broken up loads of times over the years. Some have been easier than others. And some I was quite glad they ended.
 

Of all those relationships I’ve only actually been properly in love a couple of times. Those break ups are definitely the worst and I find it takes a long time to refind your equilibrium afterwards. However I can assure you that it will pass; you will stop thinking about him; you will meet someone else eventually; and you will fall in love again. Keep telling yourself this. Because it’s true.
