Its hard breaking up with someone that you have had in your life for so long....sometimes you have to be mean to get the point across... I know I had to be mean with my ex to get him to realize that this is over...but that didn't last long....hang in there. Take some time to really think why you are still with him....is it because you are each others "habit" and you are aftraid to be alone??? |
I think at some points it was like that. It was so hard for so long and we both stuck it out because we are eachothers best friends... but he is not my habit. I went the whole summer without him. I'm blessed to have him in my life and I shouldn't ever have taken him for granted and made him feel unimportant. I think that is why he's going through what he is right now-- I didn't make him feel like he played a crucial role in making me happy.
