As the title reads really.
DP (no kids or cohabiting involved) has ended things due to their poor mental health which is very bad at the moment. They are engaging with a doctor and counsellor. DP feels they need to get better alone and it’s too much pressure knowing they are not being fully present in the relationship as they should.
I would've rather stayed together and just allowed as much space as necessary but they have to do what’s best for them. Having been there myself, very ill with bad MH, I know that feeling of acting irrationally (albeit feels rational at the time) and this feels very sudden and irrational (to me). Perhaps it’s not though.
My hurt and feelings aside, them getting better is the priority. How likely is it things can be rekindled with space and time? Is it even a good idea to think like that? Well meaning friend has suggested (sensitively) whether I should even want to rekindle. Has anyone been through similar. Heartbroken. TIA x
