Why am i disappointed in myself after the breakup?

Author

we technically broke up 9 months ago, but the on-and-off cycle since january has been the most draining part. i spent so much time fighting for someone who didn't want to be fought for and staying through the disrespect. today i’m finally done making excuses and choosing my peace for real. day 1 of no contact.

i spent months going back every time he gave me a tiny bit of attention, even after he showed me exactly how little he cared. day 1 is brutal, but choosing yourself after all that disappointment is HUGE

Congratulations. This is really big. You have all right to feel disappointed in yourself but I would come with some unsolicited advice: have self compassion for the things you had to do to finally say stop. Some of us don’t get it first time and that’s totally okay. You did what you had to do and in that time you realised what you need, so good for you🎈🩵

there a specific moment today where something finally clicked and made you say "enough is enough"?

dont be disappointed, I am proud of you. Everytime you went back was because of hope things would be different. Today you accept no less than what's best for you, and thats your peace. You got this ❤️
