Hi Anita,
Thank you for reaching out. I’ve been reflecting on the break up, and your words have helped me.
After 2 weeks apart we spent a weekend together to exchange things, talk about the break up and spend time together. There were hugh emotions on both ends. I found myself once again feeling responsible for how he is doing, and it has validated my reason for ending things. He’s a great man and boyfriend in many ways, but not right for me in this phase of life. I’m determined for more fun, self-discovery and when the time is right a more secure relationship.
I’m lonely, because I’ve left my best friend, confidant, and the one person who has made me feel loved. I am also proud of myself for listening to my gut for the first time, and I am hopeful for my future. I still haven’t fully found my “why” to the breakup, but it is becoming clearer with time. I’m currently at peace that I did what I felt was best.
Again, thank you for listening and offering your orspective. I wish you health and happiness.
S
