It’s been about 3 months since I ended a relationship that was mentally and emotionally draining me. At first I felt guilty for ending and not knowing what kind of position I may have put her in. Then someone said that it’s not my problem and that she made choices that put us both in financial stress. She quit her job with no real plan for after. I really thought about that for a while and they were right. It is not my responsibility to find them a job, house, or whatever it may be. I can say that I’m feeling better mentally and to rid myself of the stress I’ve been working out 5 days a week for the last 2 months. Feeling good and eating right have helped a lot. Some of the guilt sits there still but it’s slowly fading away more and more. I can moving back to the general area I’m from and knowing she will be states away is kind of a good feeling. There were red flags at the beginning of the relationship that should have made anyone end it right there but I chose to look past it. Recently I found out she told one of my closest friends fiancé that she “thinks i cheated or he wanted to”. I never cheated… or wanted to. That red flag from before.. it was when she said “i think people cheat if the circumstances are right.” I haven’t confronted her about it and probably won’t. No need for drama. I’ll let her live with whatever story she needs to tell herself to make herself feel better. Sorry this is a Novel. But my advice if you’re in a relationship and you’ve tried fixing it and nothing is working… don’t sit around and hope something will just magically fix it. Just end it and move on. If not, you’ll waste your time and theirs. More importantly you’ll drain your mental state. Not worth it.
Have an amazing week everyone, and much love ❤️
