Yes I did. I was in a really bad spot and I shouldn’t have been in a relationship.

Yes and although he was an amazing bf, he left me stagnant. Now I am not limited, I found myself, and truly explored what the world has to offer

No I’ll only leave if the relationship isn’t working for me. If I’m with a keeper I can still work on myself

You will always question if he could’ve been “the one” bc you just gave up on him. It will also significantly hurt him. At least give the man a chance and tell him what you need bc maybe it really is just a rough patch

I wouldn’t necessarily say I’ve given up on him. I’ve been trying very hard the last couple of years to make things work.

love is not a feeling. Love is sacrifice. Love is an action. If love was a feeling then love would let us down every single time when times get hard. Love is something that you choose to do regardless of your circumstances. Love is showing up for all the small moments even when it is hard. Love is companionship not convenience. Love is passion not pride. Walking away from people you love isn’t the answer. If he rlly is a great boyfriend then fight for that

The world offered you a bond with someone who truly cares about you. If the love you share is pure then everything else can be figured out. Relationships don’t rid you of dreams and individuality. It just gives you a team to support you during it

If I didn't make the decision to break things off I would have continued to hate myself and feel held back. I would've made decisions regarding US instead of ME (I almost didn't pursue higher education because it meant never seeing him again). We dated since middle school and I broke it off late freshman year of a two year community college (right next to my house).!

I know what love is but I also know that he and I will be okay if we weren't together. He is now happy in another relationship, as am I.
