Leaving someone for someone else.

[sophy3]

Hello everyone,

Is leaving someone for someone else wrong if the relationship you was in was toxic and you was treated badly? The second I met this new man on a random night out it gave me the courage to leave my previous relationship. I tried to work on my previous relationship for around 2 months after and it just wasn't getting any better and he had no intentions of changing so I finally left.

I feel guilty?

This. Why would it be wrong? It’s never wrong to end any relationship that isn’t working for you.

I think more women (and men) should do exactly what you've done instead of having an affair then ending it. There's obviously something far wrong in a relationship for people to have affairs and you've done exactly the right thing by realising you deserve better and keeping your dignity. Be proud of yourself OP and enjoy your new life.

You don't need a reason to leave any relationship, good or bad. I do think of you have the hots for someone else you're current relationship is already over anyway. In which case, do both of you a favour and end it.

Perhaps give yourself some time to get over the toxic relationship before diving into another for your own sake.

Even if it was an evil fish god with forty tentacles that got you out of the previous relationship you should count yourself lucky because a 22 year old should not be with a man with 3 children. Lucky escape!
