Is uncertainty worse than the truth in relationships?

[Stacey Barnes]

I’m a 29M and recently came out of a long-term relationship. Something I keep reflecting on is how the hardest part wasn’t even what may or may not have happened — it was the uncertainty.

That constant feeling something might be wrong, but not having clarity… it slowly drains your peace, your focus, even your sense of self.

Some people say trust blindly. Others say walk away. But I wonder — is not knowing actually the hardest part?

For those who’ve been through this, did finding the truth (even if painful) bring peace? Or did uncertainty linger either way?

I’m genuinely curious how others deal with this mentally and emotionally.

Not knowing what? Truth about what?

Unless you provide some details about what happened we can’t say whether trusting or walking away was the best solution in your case.
