Finally ended things (27f)

Relationship Ended or Ending

Logged back into this account for the first time in 3 years, after my one and only post to this very subreddit about how I was struggling in my relationship.

Well 2 years later, after many more conversations and trying to get my needs met, i finally got the courage to leave (it’s been about a month) I’m 27 and we were together 5 years. I just kept imaging my future with him and how nothing would change and how i ultimately would be blamed as the reason for the lack of sex between us. He was a great partner in many other way, but I wanted more and it was hard to admit to myself how important it was to have my needs met in that way. It was painful but I immediately felt better and lighter.

I’m looking forward to being single for the first time in a long time while still in my 20s and the possibility of the unknown.
