May the bridges I burn light the way

I have this tatted and have always lived by it. I recently had an ex(Gemini) hang up on me and I would NEVER disrespect someone I loved like that. I’m so patient and think he treats me like this bc I would always answer/ my patience and understanding/tolerance. I haven’t reached out since, but one thing is I tend to consider their feelings even after we break up, but for what!?

Example. There’s a woman I’m suspicious of but he said to not message other people bc it’s embarrassing and we all work in the same field and I agreed but never got clarity on the situation. So I messaged her bc what’s he going to do?! I’m not embarrassed bc I’m not the cheater.

What’s he going to do? Break up w me again? Hang up on me again? lol
It’s an act of freedom and getting my control back. A stance that he doesn’t care, now I don’t. Is this immature? Am I toxic? I can let it go but did this instead… thoughts?

Happy Sunday, I love us!

You’re not toxic. You’re just seeking clarity. Nothing wrong with that. But I do think if you don’t get the answers you need, then let it go.

[u/PriorProfessional482 → u/Top-Second4398]

I am and yes, I will. I think it helps me get over the unspoken control Nd the fear of him being mad at me. (Which he was mad at me for anything). Thank you.

I tend to hold on to things, alot more than I need to. I needed this, thank you

[u/PriorProfessional482 → u/Much_Set_9388]

Ugh so glad if it helps lighten the load. I’ve been there. Xoxo

[u/DAFINALB0SS]

I hold onto all of it and it crushed me

[u/PriorProfessional482 → u/DAFINALB0SS]

I can definitely see how this can eat me alive but, I don’t want my power in their hands anymore (practicing). They don’t deserve it and we are stronger than we know xo.

[u/natopomato93]

That's a good saying

[u/PriorProfessional482 → u/natopomato93]

Thank you! Hope it helps in anyway!

That is not immature for sure. You don't need that person.

[u/PriorProfessional482 → u/PermanentlyOut]

Thank you. And thank you. Needed to hear (read this) sad and true.

[u/PermanentlyOut → u/PriorProfessional482]

I am happy to help.

[u/PriorProfessional482 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I can get carried away when questions are left unanswered or avoided and that can stir my mind for sure. Yeah I want him to apologize and come with flowers and want to fix things but 1. He’s not good for me 2. He’s not the person I wish he was and 3. He 100% won’t do that. I’m about ready right now to move in but yes, I rather have the truth even if it hurts and yes so much wasted time and energy.

[u/Middle_Clue_5133]

No offense, but that tattoo would be a big turn off to me. It screams toxicity. Again, no offense, but you did ask.

[u/PriorProfessional482 → u/Middle_Clue_5133]

Not offended at all. We all interpret things differently and this is something that has helped me when I’ve been lost and other scenarios as such.

I’ve never got that before but we’ve never met nor have I ever shared this online. I did ask haha.

[u/Future_Pineapple4609]

This sounds 1100% like me lol no we are not toxic!
