Feeling lost and tired after my ex's harsh words

Author

most mornings I wake up sad, and im really sad today. I asked my ex of 17 years if it was that horrible being with me and he said it was bad enough, I own up to all my flaws and I know I had a hard time letting things go or flow off my had. I just wish he loved me enough to keep going. I miss him so much and im just so tired. 😔

can i ask, when he said it was “bad enough,” what do you feel in your body right after hearing that, is it guilt or more like feeling rejected?

Kind of both, but found out today he is cheating

i know that urge to blame yourself, i did it too, but one thing that helped me was reminding myself that someone choosing to leave doesn’t erase all the love i gave.

after my breakup i kept replaying every flaw thinking maybe if i was easier to love he would’ve stayed. 17 years is a whole life with someone, of course it feels this heavy

For sure, and for him doing it the way he is doing it hurts SO bad! plus I have 4 kids with him so it makes it so much harder!

it will get better with time. i know that sounds dumb now, but it will. each morning will get a tiny bit easier. you will learn to live and how to love life without them. don’t give up on yourself ❤️
