If you are leaving a toxic relationship...

Is it better to let them know you are done or just stop answering their calls?

Everytime I begin to heal, it's like he knows and tries to call or text me. Then the call isn't even about anything. No apology. Just trying to act like nothing happened without repairing how he hurt my feelings... and he already knows that he did. When I told him that, and that I had to leave for the weekend to heal. Somehow he spun the conversation around to ask me to promise not to "panic" in the future.

But I wasn't panicking... I was seeing his red flags and realizing I need to exit the relationship.

He texted me saying that he would like to call me tonight, but I already feel completely disrespected and I don't think there is anything to salvage.

I guess part of me wants to hold on, not even to salvage the relationship, but moreso to end it appropriately so that I don't feel like I have this egg on my face. But I also know that every time I interact with him, I am only disrespecting myself more.

There is no winning at this point. I just have to take my loss.
