In my experience of relationships I would rather have time to myself alone to reflect than be with someone who makes me unhappy. Weigh up whether it is worth it or not. Avoid sacrificing your happiness to benefit those who make you unhappy. The fear of being alone can be overwhelming but there's billions of people on this planet who have taken the same risk and are now in happy relationships. My ex was manipulative and emotionally abusive. I was afraid of being alone but now I know its the best decision I ever made. Love isn't about fear of being alone.

The fact that someone did love you means that no one loving you is impossible. Learn to appreciate yourself and know your worth because you are amazing on your own. Heading into a relationship before you learn to be okay on your own can be detrimental and can cause vicious cycles that can trap you if you happen to be in a toxic relationship. It takes strength to end a relationship and that strength can be found by practising self-love and independence. Relying on someone is good and makes hard situations easier but depending on someone emotionally is not healthy.

This is a difficult decision to make and your concern is not unreasonable. I have not been in your shoes before, but I can imagine the scared feelings you are experiencing. Have you thought about what would be best for you? Have you considered the benefits of breaking up as opposed to the negatives? This is a decision that is yours to make and I cannot advise you as to what you should do but I can listen to your concerns and empathise with you. How does that make you feel? I hope that I can listen to your ideas and thoughts on this.

I know a break up is hard and especially thinking about the consequences is even harder and I understand so well. If the other person is not treating you well and if this is the best decision for you, i suggest you to do it. It will make you feel free and have freedom and don't worry about the part about no one loving you. Because people will understand you and love you. And if people do not love you, they are not good people. There are so many amazing people out there that are willing to love you. The entire seven cups community is here with you along this journey, we love you! thank you

You should think about your happiness. Love yourself. When you start loving yourself others will love you aswell. There is someone out there for everyone. In time you will find someone who will love you for you and love you unconditionally. If you have already realised that you want to break up, then you realise your not happy. If you want to break up then you should do whats right for yourself. To make yourself happier. You need to take time to decide what is going to make you happy.

Love yourself. Every day, every night, you are enough. If you being in a relationship that you don't want to, that's is going to do no good. If you want, you can try a self care break, something engaging that you do being away from your partner like camping. May be that gives you a better perspective to have. Having said that if you can't go out just distance yourself from your partner telling him or not, whatever works best for you. But most importantly, don't lose yourself in the process. No one can love you more properly than yourself.

Being in a relationship you do not want to continue in is a difficult situation to be in. However, it is made more difficult when there are concerns about whether love will find you in the future. Ultimately, allowing your fears about the future to impact what you want to do right now is going to limit you. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to gain the courage and momentum to move on, should you still want to in the future. If you want to break up with your significant other because you feel the relationship is unhealthy, toxic, not conducive to personal growth, or does not bring positivity to your life, you should not allow a fear about the future to deter you from doing what you feel would be best for you right now. No one can predict the future, but if what's happening right now isn't working or is actively causing detriment to you, you have the evidence you need to move forward.

Love yourself and you will always have what you need to get everything else in life. Its much better to be by yourself and content then with someone and unhappy. Staying in any relationship you're unsure of can turn out to be alot worse in the long run. If you really want this one to work try talking through any issues with your partner which hopefully they're willing to do and also want to see the relationship get better or at least part on amicable terms without any resentments or hard feelings. Be happy with you always, first and foremost.

Break ups are really scary at times and when the thought of being ever loved again comes to your mind then it's seems more scary. In such situations, you could always close your eyes and listen to heart and ask yourself if the reasons for your break up is valid or not. Even if you think that you may not find someone who will ever love you, you also know that you want to break up and your reasons for break up do count. And talking about if someone will ever love you, just remember that your first partner also loved you and you're in relationship. Hope things get better for you.
