Keeping strong - left relationship

Needing a hand hold to keep strong after leaving relationship. It's so hard when you love the person. That love had not gone, I was just no longer willing to live in the situation I was in.
Arguments over petty things, feeling like I was 100% in compared to him being 60% in. I couldn't see a future to build the way things were. I feel like I have wasted years of my life.

I know this is the right decision but finding it hard to let go and accept I have made the right decision some days. It's the wishing someone would have changed, that you had been enough for them to listen. Urgh break ups suck!

Sometimes it can almost feel harder if you’re the one to pull the plug, especially if you wanted it to work, which it sounds like you did, but they weren’t stepping up enough.

There are wonderful people out there who will go all in too. You’ve cleared space in your life now to meet one of them.

In the meantime take the time you need to process the end of this relationship. You’ll get there, and at some point you’ll find yourself realising you haven’t thought of them in ages!
