No. I believe break ups happen for a reason.
If we were the right fit, there would be no need to break up.

I used to tell myself I met the right person at the wrong time. But actually the relationship wasn't a good one. I was delusional. I loved them so much, I played my part in making the union turn sour, but they did nothing to try and make the relationship one that didn't require my constant insecurities.
Coming back after breaks should improve things but their behaviour remained the same and attitude became less loving.
I think I needed too much from them and they didn't have the capacity for that.

I've since had better unions that lasted a lot shorter than that one. But it certainly made me realise I could feel different, and receive more love.
