Today I ended my two year long distance relationship (again). We had been on and off for a while, arguing then making up, but I feel that I reached my limit. He is unale to understand me or my situation, and I often find myself explaining or justifying normal things to him because he feels insecure. Today I felt so terribly hurt. I am living in a place that is constantly under alerts and bombardments due to war, and instead of being patient and understanding, he adds to my stress. He questions my loyalty just because I ask for space or crop a screenshot of my chats. I am so exhausted, and I feel that I have given up my self respect to keep this going. I know the right thing is to cut him off and move on, but I am so vulnerable and sad and everything feels so challenging 😔

are you feeling more hurt by losing him, or by how much of yourself you had to shrink just to keep him?
I am definitely more hurt hy how much I had to shrink myself to keep him… I am exhausted at this point and have no more motivation at all to make things work or to make anymore efforts. I tried so hard before; gave so many chances, overexplained myself, waited, cried… now there is nothing left inside me but the desire to be myself again.
i stayed in a long distance where i had to keep proving myself over the smallest things, even when my life was already falling apart, and i remember feeling so drained and small all the time. it takes a lot to finally say enough.
it truly does. The temptation to keep saying what if, to keep trying, to keep blaming the distance for things not working is too great.
