Ended the relationship

[ChloChlo]

Things ended for us tonight. We had been having lots of fights that were getting increasingly weirder, verbally/emotionally abusive and more frustrating. I had tried to end things once before but it didn't last. It didn't end amicably, although I tried my best.

In hindsight, there were a lot of red flags that I didn't recognize. I have definitely learned a lot of valuable lessons from this whole experience - not just painful things. I have a lot of good memories. Right now I'm mourning what could have been, but I have a lot of hope that I'll move forward and be happy again.

This forum was an awesome place of support during the whole journey. I thank you all for that <3 You are all such awesome people.

I'm very sorry, ChloChlo. You made a healthy decision to end an increasingly abusive relationship. I'm glad you're hopeful for the future. Take care of yourself

I'm so sorry, Chlo Chlo! It was for the best, though. You did the smartest thing you could have possibly done by ending the relationship and getting yourself out of an abusive situation. I hope you stick around, or at least come back after taking some time to yourself
We're here for you!

Big hugs

Try not to mourn "what could have been" because it sounds like it only could have been worse. You're strong, keep your head high knowing you did the right and healthy thing for yourself.

Break ups definitely suck. Hang in there.

Thank you so much everyone. It's definitely not easy, even when you know it's the right thing to do. I know I've got a lot of healing work to do, but I hope it will help me become a healthier person and partner to someone else one day.

I appreciate all the kind words of support
