As I’ve said before, I’m focusing on all aspects of my health this year and this includes my relationships.
I recently made the painful and heartbreaking decision to end my relationship with my boyfriend after nearly six years. Like most relationships, we had our ups and downs, breaking up and getting back together a few times over the years. But this fight was different, for me anyway. This time I realized we weren’t in a healthy relationship.
I took a step back and thought about the last few years. We’d been stuck in the same place we were two or even three years ago. We weren’t growing as a couple. And as mentor of mine has often said – if you’re not growing, you’re dying. I didn’t want to have a dying relationship. While we have lots of history, we also have lots of issues – issues that we can’t seem to compromise on or work through without hurting each other.
It’s painful to leave someone who I’ve spent so much time with and who has a large piece of my heart. But it’s also the opportunity for new beginnings.
In the end the day I left was just my beginning.
It’ll be healthier for me to be alone for now. It’ll give me time to focus on me and that could be the best thing for my next relationship.
