I've made so much progress in my life but somehow I always end up circlin back to him. No matter what I do or accomplish personally or professionally it's like there's this voice in my head whispering But you weren't worthy enough to be loved by him? Even after you gave it your all. Any time someone dismisses me I hear See? You really are unlovable and unlikable. It's not his fault he couldn't love you back. I know I'm doing myself a disservice but I'm just so tired. He's reached out multiple times over the years but I've always turned him away because he never came with a genuine apology or regret it felt like he'd only pop up to see if he still had a strong hold over me. And he does but I've never caved in. However I'm constantly questioning if I should have just submitted to him and let him rule my life because things are tough regardless always fighting a battle. It's like you finally decide to have self-respect and dignity but the journey is still so hard four years later. Why is succumbing to all bad habits including toxic exes so easy?
