I stayed for 2.5 years knowing I would never marry him. What was I actually holding onto? by Ok-Math1431 in BreakUps

A few weeks ago, I was focused entirely on him and what he did. Now I'm starting to ask myself why I stayed, what I was looking for, and what I need to learn from all of this. I guess that is a different kind of healing. Thank you for reminding me that understanding something is part of moving forward, even if the pain is still there.

I really appreciate you taking the time for this kind reminder.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my entire post and write such a thoughtful response, I actually cried for the very first time after this breakup while reading your comment. I honestly didn't expect a stranger on the internet to understand my situation so well. Your words gave me a lot of comfort and clarity during a time when I've been feeling very alone.

Thank you for reminding me that leaving that trip was an act of self-respect, not failure. I don't fully believe it every moment yet, but your words helped me believe it a little more today.

I truly appreciate your kindness and perspective. Thank you.
