@mindful.by.b: Ending a relationship with someone who leans on you for everything is one of the hardest things to do. But staying out of guilt isn’t love, it’s just delaying the honesty you both deserve. #breakups #endingrelationships #longtermrelationship #codependency #relatiinships
My therapist said it’s because we eventually view them as another child and we don’t abandon children.

Oh boy, this is really for me. I did this a few weeks ago and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

What is so hard is they guilt you so much when you want to leave! They don’t see that we want more for them and they will recover and hope they find someone new that is better suited for them. It kills me to see him in so much pain🥺🥺🥺

It's hard because I've been their person for so long, but they stopped being mine. It became entirely about them, and she kept making these awful decisions that everyone warned her about, but she'd act like a victim. Everyone else has left her, it's just me now.

I’m trying to breakup with a dismissive avoidant. But she relies on me for everything and guilts me into staying every time but still doesn’t change

Rule number 1 : never become someone’s ONLY support system. If someone is leaning on you too much, distance yourself before you end up supporting their own weigh

It helped after I realized the reason they didnt have a support system is mainly because he pushed them away by being destructive.

Can this apply to men as well? We are moving to separate apartments and are taking a break but I know in my heart that I’m done

this was me in my recent relationship and it hurt so so much. i felt absolutely horrible, because i felt my leaving would ruin their life. it's still been hard to move past because the guilt constantly eats me alive

I’m in this boat right now, but I’ve come to realize that he’s a 40 year old man and his inability to maintain his male friendships long term isn’t my problem but ending it is so much easier said than done

my ex partner didn't have any real friends, and that was part of the reason we grew apart.

My main advice on this is don’t allow yourself to become someone’s only support system. Distance distance distance! The minute you notice someone being clingy is the time to cut the cord asap

I was his main comfort person but he also treated me worse than anyone. I specifically told him I couldn’t be his support system AND his (emotional) punching bag.

I literally was in this friendship last year. her parents are abusive, the men she dates are horrible, her other friends aren't great people. I was the only one who tried to help her but it got so draining and useless
