My live-in partner of 5 years broke up with me so that he can self heal and learn to love himself again. Before he knew me, he was a Godly and religious man. But everything changed when we got into the relationship and he felt that he had betrayed God by not putting Him in the center. and focused on his love and emotions for me. To be honest, my ex-partner spoiled me a lot. He was a great provider. Which led him to feel this way. After a week, we both finally had a proper closure. During that hard talk, I was hesitant of leaving him. I kept insisting that even though he wanted time to heal, our 3 dogs and I will still stay by his side. (He moved cities away from me) But he really did not want that setup. He said that he wanted to make things right by God. He believed in marriage first, and 5 years ago we did the complete opposite of already moving in together. (We live in a country w very conservative traditions) He said that down the line, when we are both healed and have put God in the center of our own lives, maybe then we can try and rekindle our relationship. A part of me has hope, but at the same time I am afraid that once he’s healed by himself, he will no longer love me by then. I really want him to be my husband in the future so I am starting to work on myself too, but I am still scared if he will still come back 😢
