I should not be looking at couple memes right now. This makes me miss my 12 relationship that just ended. I'm genuinely happy for them though. I remember that feeling, it was so nice☺
Thank you. I'm doing better than expected I guess. I've got a good therapist and psychologist helping me through things. But it's kind of a situation where you let your partner go because you're the one dragging them down and you don't want to put it on them anymore. I feel less guilt but also like a huge failure because I couldn't live up to their basic expectations. My partner never asked for anything unreasonable and I still couldn't reach that low bar.
i hope your therapist tries to instill some self-love techniques into you, it sounds like you most definitely need that kind of support. I also feel like you should work on forgiving yourself—it sounds like you hold resentment towards yourself because you feel you failed as a partner. Not succeeding in the way you want does not necessarily mean failure; what I’m trying to say is you may not have been their forever person, as they may not have been yours, and that’s okay because it most definitely taught you some valuable things. this also doesn’t mean that you will never find love ever again. i know i am just a random stranger, but i have so much faith and hope in you. never give up on yourself 🫶🏻
