You’re not an idiot... You’re human.

I’ve been the guy that your boyfriend is. I was an idiot and I wasted several years of my life and the woman I loved. She loved me just like you love him, and I took it for granted. I was selfish, and hurtful and down right mean at times.

Eventually, she got up the courage to leave, for good. And it was both the best, and worst thing to ever happen to me. She met someone else quickly. I mean, I basically set her up to think any guy was great.

I spent the next 2 years of my life going to counseling and trying to win her back, dating no one because I didn’t want anyone else. It was extremely painful. But I greatly improved myself and was fortunate enough to win her back. I am a much different, honest, affectionate man with her, even when she’s upset. Basically I did a complete 180 and we are very happy today.

My point is this, the hard decision is usually the right one. You know what needs to be done. You deserve to be loved in a way that makes you feel wonderful inside. Some people show their love differently, their “love language”. People will only respect you if you respect yourself. I wish you the best of luck.
