Sometimes it is hard to let go of relationships, even when they are hurting us.
in order to find the self determination to make choices that direct you towards happier pathways, you need first to love and accept yourself.
You gotta give yourself a cuddle, give yourself a pat on the back, each time you ackowledge your personal strengths
You gotta stop beating yourself up for your mistakes. We all make them. None of us havent messed up. We all find ourselves at times continuing patterns of behaviour that only serve to make us miserable Humans are good at that sometimes.
Currently you seem caught up in a cycle of being hurt by the X , dusting yourself off, after him hurting you again, then putting yourself back up for another round of his 'cold shoulder' arsehole act.
Im sure there are many other parts of your life where you are not caught in an unhealthy relationship cycle that keeps causing you much pain . Like at work, or maybe with your relationships with friends,, neighbours, or family.
You cant change this man who keeps hurting you- as others say ' he has shown you his hand'. no-one can change that. You can however break free from his shit, but only if you first love yourself , and accept yourself, warts 'n all, then it will be easy to say no, piss off , never again, block, delete, see ya later, good riddance.
Currently you are reacting to this man by your feelings of hurt and not using your power to choose to say no and make it impossible for him to hurt you anymore. But you also have the power, to choose what you do after reacting emotionally to his crap,
You get to decide what you say yes to, and you get to decide what you want to say no to from now on. You have a self responsibility to protect your beautiful self
.
Write down the things you want from your life. What are some of the things you would like to change for yourself
After relationships end, even if they have been bad relationships, they leave a void. Do more of what gives you joy and be kind to yourself, and love yourself enough to say no to this cycle of sadness.
