Making the decision to leave someone you love is never easy.
Even after all of the pain and the hurt they inflicted upon you, you still loved them.
But ultimately, you knew that it was not right to stay with them.

Deep down, you knew that love was not meant to be synonymous with pain.
And you are so lucky that you did.
But I promise you, you made the right choice.
You should be able to show your emotions without always worrying about how they will react.
Healthy relationships allow you to discuss your concerns without fear of being reprimanded by your partner.
They were only doing this to see how far they could push you before you broke.
Someone who loves you will want to help you rebuild, not break you.
You will always be enough for the right person.
Everyone needs their space and their own time to reflect.
If someone truly loves you, they will not ignore you every time you have a disagreement.
No one deserves to be ignored so you can be taught a lesson.
A healthy partner will want to discuss your conflicts together, not pin them all on you.
Someone who loves you would never expect you to do something to kindly them if it makes you uncomfortable.
No is always an acceptable answer.
Coercion is not equal to love.
You Often Felt Trapped In Your Relationship
Sometimes two people are just not meant to be together.
You are not required to stay with someone and wait it out to see if things start getting better.
If your gut is telling you to go, then do it.
You should never feel trapped in a place that is supposed to feel like home.
They Constantly Put You Down
Your partner should support and celebrate you, not belittle you.
They often know your deepest insecurities, and they should never be using that knowledge to deepen your pain.
You are also allowed to need.
This is not your happily ever after.
They are not your soulmate.
If you cannot be yourself around them, just leave.
like do not let them dull your shine.
There is someone out there who wants to see just how brilliant you truly are.
Always remember your value.
