Have you walked away from someone you love for your own mental health/insecurities? If so, how did it work out for you?
I [26m] ended a very good relationship with my now ex gf [25f] because i've got some baggage from my previous relationship. I was with my previous ex on/off for four years, it was very draining and emotionally abusive. She would threaten me with ruining my career and family relationships and guilt trip me if i tried to leave. We argued non-stop.
My new relationship wasn't like that but I began doing the same behaviours; not being 100% honest in fear the truth might spark an irrational argument, being defensive over mundane questions like 'wuu2?'. So i ended things last week as i just felt so awful that I was doing this to someone who didn't deserve it.
I'm struggling to come to terms with my decision. We are otherwise very happy and we feel like we love each other (i know some people think 6 months isn't long enough) but I don't know how to get over these issues i have without continuing to drag her into it.
Has anyone else stepped away from something great to work on themselves? How did it go for you?
