How to let go when you don’t trust...

[Inexperiencedchick]

I have written him an email, haven’t send it yet.
There is a back story... which doesn’t matter anymore. I just don’t trust him enough to be with him. It is eating me up and I don’t want to become miserable and sad person.

Is there anyone who managed to walk away and be happy again?

Yes. So many women will tell you on here how happy they are since they left a man they didn't trust any longer.

Is there anyone who managed to walk away and be happy again?

Oh God, yes!

The relief is immense and almost immediate.

Unless by 'happy' you mean 'find a boyfriend'. Because I am happy but there is no man on the scene.

Thank you for the replies.

I meant “happy” in general, with/without a man.

I’m happy on my own because I know that there is “no one who is so close but at the same time will hurt me any minute”

I just left his place today in the morning today, and all day I was questioning his words, because somehow they don’t add up. I don’t want to live like this anymore... I have always been honest with myself, possibly overlooked things in the past...

But tried to keep honesty to the maximum.

Yes. I’m single but with my lovely son, and I don’t have to worry if I’m being lied to or let down anymore. The worse that can happen is someone says their homework is finished when it isn’t.
I am no longer criticised or undermined.
I’m no longer expected to spend more money than I can afford. I don’t have to cook a bastard lump of dead animal every night. Cheese biscuits and a glass of wine are perfectly acceptable.

I can have sunshine colours in my house. And no Jeremy Clarkson. There is much less mess. Things don’t get broken. I have time for me.

It is just such a relief.
