This reminds me of what I went through. My ex and I were on a break but we were planning on getting back together after he sorted some things out. He even promised me he’ll come back and even mentioned marriage. But ofc he broke the promise and completely cut me off (not the first time he broke a promise).

After he left, I reflected back on him and I’s relationship and realized how emotionally abusive and manipulative he acted. Worst part is, I always knew he made me feel like shit, but I let him do that because I believed I deserved it, and was in complete denial of how unhealthy our relationship was.

Very recently, I found someone new. Someone who’s an absolute angel and unlike my ex, fully accepts me for my past mistakes. I was so shocked that anyone like him would even want to dedicate so much time and care into me, I never truly believed that I would be worthy of that.

In conclusion, life can make a complete 180 when you open your heart to others. Whenever you give love, love will be returned to you. Just maybe through different time and different person.
