It's been a month since I broke up with my fiancee, and it was really hard at first, I still miss him sometimes when we sit in separate rooms, but I decided I will not let people cross my boundaries like he did for months, I felt like a toy, like a doormat that will always wait for him, but I'm done, and honestly? at first I felt like I'm dying, but now I've never felt better. I feel like I regained control over my life, I don't need to check constantly if he cheats on me again and again, I just don't care, I'm not so scared anymore, because everything that happens to him right now, the people leaving when they find out about all the cheating and gaslighting he did to me, it's only consequences of his actions. I begged him to stop hurting me for months, and now I'm done, I feel way better, I'm working with amazing people, I met amazing guy and we went on a date last Sunday, I'm not looking for relationship with him yet, but he also helped me to understand that I don't need to beg for love and attention. My psychiatrist and therapist are proud of me, and I'm finally proud of myself

same i stayed with someone who cheated and gaslit me for months too, kept thinking if i just loved harder he’d stop. walking away felt like dying at first, then one day i realized i could breathe again. proud of you for choosing yourself.
I'm so proud of you and your boundaries because I know it must be challenging to keep them when you are still living together. I want you to know that you are worthy of love and respect. Look at just how far you have come. You definitely turned your breakup into a breakthrough. The caterpillar is definitely turning into a butterfly.
