I FUCKING DID IT. I LEFT MID-DISCARD

damn, guys. I just need to yell about it to a community that might get this.

I had a spine chilling moment of recognizing that between our love and her narrative, she’d choose her narrative every time.

That realization, plus all the posts and patterns I’ve seen here, helped me wake up and see what was happening. She was stringing me along, doing everything to keep me dependent and attached while slandering me to my friends and seeking new emotional supply.

I prepared in secret. Most agonizing month of my life. She tried to twist my arm and use the relationship as leverage- finally, there was a heated conversation. She kept interrupting me and talking like a disappointed mother, it creeped me the fuck out. The amount of contempt and condescension felt like actual shotgun blast to the chest, I loved her.

She “broke up” with me, expecting me to cower, apologize, or beg. I simply didn’t argue- and left.

I need ya’ll to be proud of me. I ghosted and blocked ENTIRELY, despite her being mid smear campaign, and still trying to hoover me in. I know she didn’t expect it.

From her pov, she had me on a leash, and then I vanished overnight.

I left her a final letter that outlined exactly what she did. With no anger, but completely clarity- a list of time stamped facts.

Dealing with the emotional fallout has been brutal. Lost dear friends. But THIS IS SO FUCKING WORTH IT. I AM FREE.
