I was relying on her for happiness in a lot of cases but I slowly started to feel alone towards the end. Like I lost myself trying to help her.

It really did feel like she was a child, the last argument we had sparked because she was upset over nothing, just her feeling down. I think all the back and forth was due to her but towards the end I pulled back a bit also. I couldn’t constantly be responsible for how she was feeling. I never made her responsible for my feelings which I regret not making her more accountable but as you said nothing would change.

I believe she will contact me again. She will need to drop off some things of mine in the next week and I will return hers. Not sure how we should go about that. Do you think having contact is a bad idea? Should we not speak and just grab our things and go separate ways like she said she wanted?

I am talking about it to a lot of people and using my support. It’s just a shock to the system realizing I was being abused and manipulated a lot of the time.

I will stay in touch on here as well as be proactive and look for distractions to keep myself busy.
I will post any updates here!
