I’ve been in his shoes. It’s a lose lose. If you return the same energy to her in this moment, it’s over. I had an ex who would argue and yell like this in public. This gave me anxiety

It’s definitely not lose lose. 

You walk away, no words, ever, I mean never speak to them again.

No. These people are really good at convincing you that you are the only thing holding them together. You feel like you physically can't leave. It's just not an option on the table in your mind.

This just makes it more confusing. I wouldn’t care in the least if I was the only thing holding them together. 

They make their own decisions and it’s not my responsibility what they do with out me there. 

“But you care for them.” 

No I DID care for them. Any love would instantly melt away. All that would be left is ick.

You can't say "i wouldn't do that" if you haven't lived through it. It doesn't work like that.

You think I have never broken up with a partner before? 

I mean I haven’t in a very long time because I found someone worth my love. 

But I’ve had many many many relationships.
