By the time our relationship ended I made myself two promises.
I swore I would never again chase beg overwhelm hurt harass lose control or burden the person I love. I hated myself for doing those things.
I swore I would never give you another chance. I kept offering “one more try” only to watch my heart break the same way each time.
Now after about six months apart I’ve healed in many ways yet I still carry love for her. And that leaves me torn if I break my promises I betray my word. But if I don’t reach out I feel like I’m betraying my heart.

do you feel like the love you still have for her is coming from the present or from who she used to be before everything got messy?
i did the whole “one more try” thing over and over with my ex too and every time it broke me a little more. i remember making those same promises to myself because i hated the version of me that kept begging. you're not crazy for still loving her… that’s the part no one warns you about.
i know keeping your word to yourself is a big commitment but if both of you still love eachother and the breakup reason isn't as significant as cheating abuse or of those sorts...you deserve to give yourself and your heart another try...we only live one's anyways
It would be much easier if we could just hate them and move on. But noooooo…you still gotta love them, understand them, want what’s best for them. It’s fucking exhausting! But just keep reminding yourself no one that loves you would constantly hurt you.
