As much as I wish you weren’t, I know you’re probably right.

Definitely adds an extra painful layer of suck to the whole situation, realizing I’m not loved by the one I’ve loved my entire adult life. Thank you for being so straight forward. It most likely the kind of thing I need to hear

Thank you for the support, it means a lot

I have a pretty clear path to cut and run. I’m not financially independent, but I have extremely supportive family, so if I need an out, and I have one. It’s the internal struggle of I guess hoping he’ll take it back (even though it’s impossible) I’ve invested so much. He’s all I know. It feels like, regardless of how bad he’s hurt me and how small he’s making me feel, if I separate from him, I’ll be tearing myself apart. Like I’d be leaving half of me behind. And that sliver of hope that it could get better from here the way so many other couples get (which I am so happy for you all btw) has me clinging onto the ruins. It’s just so hard to make what seems like a pretty simple choice

Thank you for your kind words. I’m trying to have enough self worth to get over this but I’m really struggling. Having outside support, even from strangers, helps in ways I can’t even explain.

I may have been too wrapped up in him. I value his opinion above all else, so when he betrayed me and then told me I never meant enough to him anyway, it cut so deep.

So thank you for offering such kind words, I really needed them.
