Why i refused to settle after my breakup

My ex of 5 years was my best friend. I thought we could be best friends again but he betrayed my trust. I'm choosing my degree and my sanity over a stagnant person who has nothing in life besides being the victim. Dont settle for any less.

damn, losing a best friend and a partner at the same time hurts in a different way. do you still catch yourself wanting to tell him things sometimes, like out of habit?

yes I do. Sometimes i catch myself thinking about him or wanting to tell him about my day or unblock him and give him a piece of my mind. But thats exactly what he wants. He wants my attention to escape his own miserable life. And I just have to remember that im stronger than I know. And I dont need him to survive.

my ex was my best friend too, five years of inside jokes and late night talks, and the betrayal after that hit way harder than the breakup itself. choosing your peace over someone stuck in victim mode takes real strength

thats a strongest approach that you done… let yourself apart to those persons who broke our trust

Well said and well done to you... I'm now concentrating on my studies too and working on building a future for me, without someone who never made me a priority. You're absolutely right... let's not settle for anything less. ❤️
