Today, after 8 years of off and on. breaking up just to start over again .
she told me she does want to be with me anymore and has fallen out of love.
This was nothing new for her, but today felt different.
Today felt real.
Today felt honest.
Today felt like the sign I needed to stop fighting for something that was lost many years ago.

when you say it felt “real” today, what part hit you the hardest—the honesty, the loss, or finally seeing the truth?
She has never been a person to be in control of her emotions.
So saying things out of anger and frustration was normal. over the years I’ve heard those words being said many times and I’ve allowed it more than I should have.
Yesterday when she said those words again.
she was calm. it was not out of anger or frustration.
It was finally hearing those words said with clarity.
understanding that I had no reason to forgive or allow.
she was not drunk or high .
she was not angry or frustrated.
Time to love yourself. im learning the hard way too.
it has been a long time coming for putting myself first .
definitely lost a lot of myself trying to help her find herself.
you finally got clarity. it hurts, but honoring that feeling instead of holding on is what helped me start actually healing
Clarity is exactly what I needed.
I seen all the signs and made excuses for each of the break ups because she would come back and pretend nothing has happened. For the Sake of my sanity and our family .
I forced myself to believe that she would eventually see and understand the love , patience, understanding and space I gave.
I Can’t get those years back, but at least I can start healing so years to come can be a bit more joyful.
i spent YEARS in the on-again/off-again loop too. that moment when it finally hits? it’s like a punch in the chest and a weird relief at the same time
spent the last couple hours in my head. I’m not sure if I’m more hurt at the fact that it’s over or the fact that it should have ended years ago and I kept going back.
