I have a question. What would you do, if after reading your letter, he wanted to come back?
It is my firm belief that people leave each other for a reason....it didn't work. Therefore, I do not feel that it is good to revisit a toxic relationship later on and expect it to work. I think our feelings warn us to protect us; to tell us it's time for a change because this is definitely not working... to move on and I believe that's what you have done. If it didn't work the first time, I feel it is questionable that it would work the second time. You were split up for a reason. To go back I think would be a huge mistake. We must be true to ourselves so that we do not expose ourselves to more hurt. That doesn't mean we hate the person, or are mad at them. It just means it didn't work for us and that's okay. Everyone has their different preferences. It's usually not even personal. That is, nothing against the other person, but only that we can all like the same people. If it's not working, it should never be forced. I do wish you the best and I believe now you'll really have a happy, free, and complete life. You can breathe again without being all tensed up or maybe even controlled. That's not love. That's manipulation and narcissistic behavior. No one should be expected, if they love themselves, to put up with that. I always say be true to thyself.
