I would appreciate some advice...
I would appreciate some advice on a possible mistake I may have made. I was just in a happy relationship, but I broke it off to focus on my mental health. I feel guilty, sad, and empty sometimes. I loved him more than anything and I didnt want to give him secondhand stress because of my crazy life, and I didnt want to dump my baggage on him. Was I wrong to do this? Im feeling like I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Please help.
@TheDivineSheep I think you care for him and do not want to stress him about your mental health. But I guess as you both are in a relationship, he is one of your best support systems you can have so maybe you can think to talk about your mental health with him?
It will help him understand you better.
We all do not want to stress the people whom we care. What do you think?
I am glad you reached out to talk about it. Thank you.
@ASilentObserver thank you so much! I talked to him and we are back together, and he is helping me even more now to get better!
@TheDivineSheep Glad to hear Sheep. I am happy for you both <3
@TheDivineSheep if he loves you and is willing to love you through the crazy mess of life, you will not be a burden to him. I know its hard, I feel the same way about every one of my relationships, including friendships. Just realize that they choose you just as much as you choose them. If they stick with you- that is a choice, a constant choice to love you, even when its hard. It can be incredible to walk through life with someone who cares deeply. Sometimes, we have to allow them to love us, even when we feel difficult. If you still talk with him, maybe let him know your feelings and if he is determined that you are worth it, allow him to work through the hard with you. If the relationship is truly good for you and he is truly willing, Id give it a try again :)
