about 7 months months ago my long term relationship started getting toxic. When I finally confronted her about it. Her answer was "If I didn't like it to Find someone else." I just wanted to fix whatever was wrong and it was easier for her to just leave. After eight years of being with someone you create a lot of memories and experiences together. The real pain is not knowing what to do with all those memories and feelings once that person is gone. You let somebody in and make room for them,Then they go and yet...the room is still there.

I can't avoid myself

Good advise. Wish I'd known better when I was younger. But that's life. Live and learn.

I've walked away from at least one friendship for this reason, after a bad week visiting I'd realized that I was feeling ignored and devalued, and that I was terrified of voicing my opinion around them. Came back home and just stopped talking to them.

Self-sacrifice only works when it's reciprocal. I lost a year of myself, and still suffer the damage today. But I got out, I grew from it, and I know my value.
