I feel heartbroken. I thought my ex was the love of my life and that he was going to be the father of my kids. I know he loves me and truly wanna stay with me but, even though I am in love and I wanted it to be him, I had to break up with him as he is an addict (alcohol and drugs), and he is not 100% willing to change it (he says so, but his actions dont match his words). Now my question is, why even though I am leaving the relationship I feel TERRIFIED when I think he will be having sex with other girls? I feel that this obsessive thought is bringing me back all the time :(

You’re grieving not just the relationship but the future you imagined with him. It’s okay to feel scared and conflited it’s all part of healing

You made a tough call because you knew you deserved more.

The obsessive thoughts are your mind’s way of holding on to what’s familiar. Over time they’ll fade as you focus on rebuilding yourself

The fear you’re feeling is completely normal it’s part of letting go. It doesn’t mean you made the wrong choice it just means you cared deeply

You did yourself a huge favor by leaving.

It’s so hard to walk away from someone you love especially when you saw a future with them. But choosing yourself and your peace is such a strong and brave decision

well, he was extremely controlling and manipulative over me. He cheated on me to. I don’t think I should tolerate that…
