my ex thought that two weeks of “good behavior” (being a normal adult and doing stuff he should’ve been doing before) was enough. and he was genuinely upset when i told him it wasn’t enough.

Them starting to try is an INSULT because it just shows that they were purposefully disrespecting you for so long. Malice vs incompetence.

“I had known about my partner’s infidelity for 4 months,” and that’s all I need to know. Set boundaries for yourself & keep them.

Having to parent a grown adult for 8 years, I couldn’t come back from that.

In my experience, the partner that desperately resists when you're ready to leave is FINALLY confronting the loss instead of expecting you to keep fixing things. That, in itself, told me that I made the right decision to leave. My pain didn't move the needle. At that point, the best outcome is that both parties learned their lessons for future relationships

I was asking him to change for YEARS. And when I finally decided to leave he suddenly started trying, became a good partner for a while. It just made me angry, because it meant that he knew what to do, but just didn’t want to. It was too late, once decision was made there was no going back.

For me it was the realisation that my pain wasn’t enough for him to change. As soon as HE felt pain over losing me, suddenly he was able to do everything I had asked him to and more.

I'm a strong believer in when they feel "the switch" that you're gonna leave that's when they START trying, they wouldn't have had you not made the switch

The change also has to be long lasting! I was stuck in a cycle where my partner would change and just be the perfect person for about three months and then slowly fade back into who he was and this went on for years.

“Did not have the emotional capacity to meet himself in that moment”. This. All day.

I'm genuinely impressed with your ability to defend him even after he disrespected you in the most hurtful of ways. My first husband cheated on me and after the initial shock and hurt, I couldn't stand the thought of him being within the same city with me.

damn you articulated this perfectly. they also finally tried in ways that felt like "well here damn" instead of actually hearing and seeing me. and that made my decision

and this time is so difficult too. You finally have him as your audience. and you want so badly to talk through all the things that you've been wanting to talk through for months or maybe even years. and it's just too late at this point. mentally, I've already moved on

Crystal :
If they start putting in effort AFTER they know you want to leave, it hurts because it means they were capable of that level of effort THE ENTIRE TIME and did not do it. To me, leaving once you know that is the only move that is not self-abandonment.

something not Sophie :
had a breaking point with my ex and she said she'd do anything for me not to leave her and within the same day she was back to rejecting everything I wanted to do and just decided we were going to do everything how she wanted. From my and my friends experience the "I'll do anything" never lasts and it's back to the same bad treatment, if you haven't been enough for them to change/care in the first place you won't be now either 🤷

Resentment is the killer of love, communication is the only way to keep love healthy

Nicole :
It really feels awful and confusing when this happens. It can be hard to see that they’re usually only making an effort at that time because they fear losing you and what you provide for them. If they truly valued you, they would’ve listened and made the effort sooner.

The fact they knew exactly what to change to get you back means they absolutely could have kept you if your pain mattered to them at all

Ugh finally filed for divorce after YEARS of begging for better. Now he’s stepping up. But I feel so guilty now because we have been married 26 years. It’s such an emotional roller coaster 😩

The algorithm is getting scary specific… I just went through this and at times I feel guilt for not letting him try one last time, but also I’m at so much peace with my decision

Brooke Megan🏳️🌈💙🇵🇸📚🧶🎸 :
the issue with a partner finally being willing to try once they are told you're going to leave, is the knowledge they could have done it all along, but they were fine with watching you suffer as long as it didn't inconvenience them. you can't come back from that kind of callousness

Laura Beth :
It shouldn’t have to take you getting to that point for your partner to care about making things better and trying to change. If they are waiting until the possibility of losing you is right in their face to do anything about it, they didn’t care about you as much as they said they did, whether or not what they do is “enough” after the fact. We deserve to have our needs considered before we are in so much anguish that we decide that leaving the situation is our only option. You are valid, and anyone else who has been in this situation is valid 🫶🏻
