when loving them starts costing me my peace more than it gives me happiness

sometimes you gotta protect what little sanity you have left. loving someone who drains you constantly isnt really love anymore its just habit and trauma bonding. took me way too long to learn that one but now i sleep better at night knowing i made the right call

Just going to throw it out there. Protecting your peace is a catch phrase to sell you shit. There is no evidence that protecting your peace leads to healthier dynamics within relationships nor is there evidence that protecting your peace leads to better mental health. Often the result tends to be isolation and an inability to confront difficult emotions and conversations. But it is a really good catch phrase

“Protecting your peace” is just a fancy way of saying “setting boundaries and managing how much energy you put in a relationship”. Just like any method, there’s a time and place.

If they didn’t love me, love is a two way street

Wenn man jemanden liebt, möchte man, dass die Person glücklich ist. Aber vielleicht ist diese Person nur mit einer anderen Person glücklich, dann sollte man sie aufgeben.

Because their life is better without me.

Because they deserve someone with actual worth instead of my worthless husk.

Because I couldn't drown with them. You can do everything for someone except make them help themselves.

Because loving them made me forget to love myself too

It takes a lot for me I stuck it out with my daughters mom while she dragged us to emergency rooms for her opioid addiction when they were easy to get in the 2010’s when I had work the next morning and the only one of us with a job trying to keep up on rent etc She refused to get a job and was cheating on me and we lost our apartment and hotel hopping while she was a prostitute seeing Johns and me having to duck out while these bozos slept with her I was damn determined to get her back to my parents place so we could rebuild and ditch that chaos But she left me in that hotel room for her pimp in the middle of the night the day we were supposed to check out leaving all her belongings behind Had to throw her shit out while the employees watched Shes since had three kids with that dirtbag in and out of prison for theft and forging scripts leaving me to raise my daughter solo Also had the audacity of stalking my parents house and sending me mail years later when I never told her my new address let alone say a single word to her for years I would have never left her because I was so sure she could get clean and cared about our kid Luckily my kid knows my love and her grandparents love and isn’t interested in her mom but I know she’s curious and thats something I’ll have to navigate sooner than later But again it takes alot for me Abandonment issues are my Achilles heel and I’d never want someone to feel like that, my dad overdosing and multiple partners just pumping and dumping have kind of wired me that way
