I relate to this so much. I’ve spent more time trying to prove my worth than asking myself what was actually best for me.
When you’re dealing with an avoidant partner who constantly switches between hot and cold behaviour, love bombing and ghosting, you eventually lose sight of what to do with that person and the relationship itself. You end up holding on to the good side of them, to the person they were when they loved you and showed you affection. But when a relationship ends, perhaps we should remind ourselves that this person ultimately brought us more anxiety than love, more uncertainty than consistency, and never truly made us feel chosen.
I cried and begged for things to change. I barely recognised myself because I’m usually a gentle person, yet I felt like my anger was the only thing people could see.
I’m currently going through a breakup. He was the one who left me, and although I’m struggling with it internally, I stopped crying on the second day after the breakup, even though I’m someone who cries a lot. Because deep down, I realised that I didn’t deserve to be treated that way in a relationship, but also that I would never have the power to change someone. No matter how much I love, understand, remain patient or hold on to hope, I cannot do the inner work for someone who isn’t willing to do it themselves. Thank you for your advice, I’m going to follow your account! 😊
