My ex and I broke up nearly three months ago but we got stuck in an exhausting loop of two good days followed by five bad ones because she refused to work on our issues.
The turning point was an anxiety attack where I called her and she said things that really hurt me. Even though we kept our Snapchat streak I realized constantly checking her socials was destroying my mental health so I officially cut all contact. It's devastating but I know I deserve a partner who actually wants to be in my life and put in the effort when things get hard. Time to move on.

break that obsession with checking up on her was deleting snapchat off my phone completely for two weeks so my thumb couldn't do it on autopilot. out of sight really does start to quiet down the panic after a few days.
that 2 days good and 5 days bad cycle is absolute TORTURE. i stayed in a loop like that for six months with my ex, calling him during a breakdown only to get dismissed, and it made me feel like i was losing my mind. cutting that streak and blocking socials takes serious guts when you're hurt, but you showed up for yourself.
did calling off the snapchat streak feel like the final real breakup moment for you, or did you already feel done after that phone call?
