Thank you for writing this… I’m going through something similar and your story helps me find some peace within myself. I went through so many break ups but I think when it’s with someone who was truly a good person with who we have a meaningful and healthy connection, it’s a hundred times harder to heal. At least when the connection is toxic, there’s a whole bunch of stuff we can tell ourselves to help us move on. Also, anger helps… But in cases like your story, we can’t fall back on anger or “good reasons” for the relationship to be over.

I hope I manage to heal the same way you did… I have the feeling I’ll come back to this post a few times, just to remind myself that moving on is possible… Thank you.
