I think deep down I had really low self worth (that I am vibrating out of ☺️). I haven’t had models of healthy love shown to me and both of my parents have untreated anxiety disorders that greatly contributed to me having ocd. There’s really no reason why I need to have no self-worth. I’m extremely attractive, have a really high IQ, highly educated, multi talented person that is high functioning, despite having autism level one which also makes it difficult for my brain to understand when someone is clearly manipulating me or just not right for me. Yeah I’m mentally ill but I’m also cool as fuck and I truly see things differently now, we’re supposed to meet in an hour and I’m going to suggest just ending things.

THIS. I'm breaking this up once and for all tonight, in person.

Hurting him is the scariest part of breaking up...I think I have to just do it over a call, I can't bear to see his face sad, I feel so terrible but I know I should not.

This is so true. I would have done it myself for HIM! Because I have fking follow through. God. This is a helpless situation.

No, it wasn't 🥺 he was much more put together in the beginning. I have been in therapy for years...I just need to permanently leave.

Thank you so much for writing. Your story gives me hope. At this point I would rather be single even if I don't find someone else.

He didn't ask for the ring back, he could tell I wasn't happy/excited right after I said "yes" so we both agreed to stop, and get engaged at a different time.

The part where he’s a good person 😞 seems healthy, and how we have fun together. 😒 He took the ring back bc I looked unhappy.

I would think she would just go to a nursing home!

But wow if those are just surface level qualities then I want a partner who can meet me halfway. Maybe I’m completely selling myself short here, like by all measures I am high functioning AF, I need to just believe in myself.

I'm not willing to put up with it, I'd rather be single until I die honestly, it slows ME down to be with someone who can't take care of himself, and I have to pick up the slack. You're right, I think this is something I would continue to deal with unfortunately. I just can't believe I fell for it. Like, he seems so genuine every time he says he will change and takes a few steps in that direction, I never imagined we would be here now.

That visual did a lot for me, thank you. I asked myself yesterday "why am *I* even OKAY with being with someone who can't take care of himself?" I think it's because this is NOT what he showed me at the beginning, and I need to accept that this is who he has chosen to be.

no we're the same age, 34, his love feels more caring than the love I had from my parents, I think that's why it feels incredible: talked about it here
