Will I leave you? GUESS.

I once broke up with a semi-long term girlfriend a while ago, only for her to promise to change and eventually convincing me to stay. She then broke up with me a week later lmao, took a big L on that one! But, now I'm great and approaching two years with my girlfriend, so could say I got the last laugh :)
 
my first partner when i was 16-17 broke up with me by lying that he wasn't going to have internet anymore and disappearing. found out years later from his friend that was a lie and he just decided to ghost me. okay sure, i guess i was a bit annoying as a teenager haha. this was what set me into a huge spiral of depression that took years to recover from, but now i am happy to say it doesn't affect me in the slightest!

second partner i broke up with years after i should've, because i lost interest (years before). i was guilted into staying since he would say he'd kill himself if i stopped talking to him. it got bad enough in the last year that he was getting too suicidal/depressed and calling government services (forgot which exactly) for help, only to end up taken to a mental hospital/forced into a cop car by police because they thought he was crazy. of course something like that fueled his depression. i wasn't equipped to deal with someone like that, and his depression was all he really ever talked about in the last few years. he never had a job, dropped out of high school, and became obese. i felt bad but he became so desensitized to everything that he didn't seem to even care much when i ended it, kinda like he expected it. just said he hoped we could still talk. then i ended up forgetting his birthday because we talked so rarely at that point that he probably got depressed over it and didn't come online for a week... at that point it was october 2018 and i stopped signing on the messenger we used to talk to. i have no interest in reconnecting with him, but i hope he is doing at least a little better now. mental health issues are a struggle, but it wasn't fair for me to make personal sacrifices for someone who would never be able to pull their weight in a relationship and contribute. we dated for over six years and i never even told my parents about him because i was that embarrassed about their reaction to someone like him.

thinking back on it more, i don't even understand why i started dating him and why i let it go on for as long as i did. :( if i'm honest, the spark was lost immediately for me when we met irl for the first time.

Yeah I've broken up with people. While it is never a fun thing to have to do, it can be utterly liberating and a relief once you get past the "should i really have done this" anguish.

Don't stay in bad relationships, people. If you are not feeling happy and it's been going on for months and months, something is wrong. You deserve to leave, then, and focus on yourself.
