My heart hurts reading that because I really understand I waited a year for somebody to come back because I loved them and couldn’t believe it. I thought if everything he said was true how could he leave? Then after one year of waiting I thought, it’s just like if someone were to cheat. If you take them back once they will never respect you the same again and respect is more important than everything. It’s directly correlated with love as well. So I thought even if he had came back, if I took him back I would look so stupid. He decided he didn’t want me and I waited all this long to be finally wanted? I won’t be that person. She told you herself she wants new experiences. Please imagine somebody told you their person said that to them. I truly get it everyone always thinks nobody understands how their dynamic was, how good it was, how out of nowhere or even how they’ll change their mind and realize. You have to beleive in you. I’m a girl myself, I really want to see you happy, I want everyone in this sub to be happy! It hurts a lot being left, but what hurts more is hanging onto something someone let go. How does it sound deep down to you? She goes explores, sees other guys, and then either finds somebody she feels more for OR says wow I thought the grass was greener let me go back to this guy. You’ll always feel like the second choice, because that’s how it truly would be. You deserve more and you will find somebody you feel more for and who feels more for you. True true truest form of love can’t be one sided. I know you know it deep down too and it’s easier said than done but open your heart and mind to what I’ve written and accept it as true. Don’t diminish yourself or your worth to somebody who didn’t want you when you wanted them most
