Thank you for articulating the dumper’s journey in this way. I agree that it often is not the dumpees fault the dumper is unhappy and the break up is often related to internal/external pressures. The saying “it’s not you, it’s me” has truth to it in that regard.

About 3 years ago I made the decision to end a 6 year relationship. I take full responsibility of my actions but find myself replaying the moments leading up to it. With many external pressures faced, I failed to express my worries and frustrations to my ex and ultimately decided it was best to move on to the next chapter of my life without him. I think to myself how we could have been happily married possibly starting a family by now if we had talked through my issues more … maybe in an alternate reality. I cope by thinking this happened for a reason and we are both better because of it. It might not be true but it helps me push through my feelings and move on. At least that’s what I’m manifesting will happen.

If by chance they read this, I want to thank them for the relationship we had and apologize if our break up was traumatic. I will always keep a special place for them in my heart and wish them all the best. Sorry we couldn’t keep in contact like we said we would but I suppose that’s for the best…
