Hey guys so, I just broke up with my 5 year girlfriend. We had a toxic dinamic were she had al the privildege and I all the obligations. She is very beautiful, did modeling and I guess know her beauty made her accostumed to getting her way. Last year I started a process of leveling up the dinamic with a psycologist. As I got stronger, conflict increased. I started saying no to selfish demands and eventually moved to Boston for my master´s degree. This is where I got stronger, because been away made it so clear how toxic the relationship was. Eventually we broke up, got back together but I set certain boundries. She broke them recently again, amongst others trust and respect. She threatened me with cheating "because she can since she is so beautiful", and so I said that was it. I said, you know what, I believe you, I believe that you would cheat on me and that you do not respect me and so I am done. She later texted me that I was cheating and that is why I am leaving.. bla bla. I stated clearly my reasons and then she got furuious, I could hear her voice, it actually scared me the level of anger and threats. I hate to think she will be with other men, that though breaks me. Also she saids she hated me, said I was cold and selfish, that I just cared about myself, and blocked me. I am certain I will not go back to her, the decision is final, but that does not mean that what she said did not hurt and is still going around in my mind. I don't want her to suffer, if she is suffering, I hate the idea of her been with someone else, It hurts to feel like she hates me, all of this is a mix of pain, fear, sadness but with reluctance to go back to the same dinamic. Any words? similar experiences? advice? Thanks
So sorry you’re going through this. That is really a tough position.
At the end of the day. You HAVE to do what is best for yourself. It does sound like a toxic relationship. But it sounds like you learned a lot from it. Setting boundaries and enforcing them is extremely healthy in any relationship or friendship. In fact most people respond well to boundaries. It sets expectations. Imagine if someone set no boundaries with you. Most people would find that off putting. So setting boundaries and enforcing them is great. Good for you for doing that.
Here is the thing tho. This isn’t the first time she’s acted this way. At some point you have to move on and do what’s best for yourself. She might not be the right one for you, despite how much you care about her. And that’s something you’re just gonna have to accept. I know that’s painful and hard to hear, but it’s the honest truth.
There’re a lot of other girls out there. Even those who put personality before beauty.
In the meantime. Focus on yourself. Focus on your hobbies. Spend time with friends. And do your best to move forward. That is the healthiest thing you can do for yourself.
