Sometimes letting go is the best and most considerate thing you can do. I was stuck in a relationship filled with insecurity and resentment for a very long time and breaking away from him helped me realize that maybe we just weren’t meant to be together. I constantly regret not ending things sooner because all I did was waste both of our time. That’s not to say you have to regret being with him; I’m sure there were really good times but that doesn’t always make up for it.

Hey, I don’t know you or your situation. But as someone who has BEEN there. These are warning signs of emotional abuse. And you do not deserve that. And this is usually how it starts and then it gets worse. Regardless, you can’t change everyone.Take what you want from that information.

Sometimes it really isn’t one persons fault or the other, some people just don’t mesh well. As soon as you find yourself trying to deflect the bad with the good you know there’s a problem. “But when it’s good it’s so good” does not excuse the fact that when it’s bad it’s so bad too. Put some serious thought into it and consider a break at the very least.
