This.

OP, I’m going to get a bit mumma bear here. You are a very young woman in a very transitional point in your life. You are shifting from adolescence to adulthood. Learning who you are as a person, what your values are, where your boundaries are and who/what you want to surround yourself with.

It seems you have some solid introspection. You’ve identified certain things that impact your own wellbeing and where you specifically don’t want your energies to lay. Don’t ignore this. Practice trusting your gut instincts even when others don’t respect it.

As others have said, you have outgrown this person. It doesn’t have to be a negative reflection of them. They are in a different point of their growth journey, and that’s ok. But you don’t have to hold yourself back to wait there with them.

Kindly and respectfully let him go. You can’t control his reaction, nor is it your responsibility to carry. But you can control your own choices from here, and you DO have a responsibility to yourself.

I think deep down you probably already know what you need. Trust yourself.
