@melissadivaristhompson: One of the most confusing parts of leaving a relationship is missing the very person you knew you had to walk away from. We tend to think grief is proof we made the wrong choice. If leaving was right, shouldn't it feel like relief? Shouldn't the missing stop? But that's not how the heart works. You can know, with total clarity, that a relationship was costing you yourself, and still ache for the good moments, the comfort, the familiarity, the version of them you fell for. Both of those things can be completely true at the same time. Missing someone is not the same as needing to go back to them. The tears are not a sign you made a mistake. They're a sign you're human, and that what you walked away from mattered to you, even if it wasn't good for you. This is what healing honestly actually looks like. Not pretending you feel nothing. Not rewriting the whole relationship as all bad so the grief makes sense. But holding the harder, truer thing: I loved them, I miss them, and leaving was still the most loving thing I could have done for myself. So if you left and you're grieving, please don't take the grief as a reason to go back. Take it as proof of how much courage it took to choose yourself anyway. You're allowed to mourn what you let go of and still be certain you were right to let it go. Have you ever grieved something you knew you needed to release?
