Let me tell you something nobody wants to say out loud. You aren't losing your mind and you aren't a failure for feeling like the air is easier to breathe when he isn't in the room. You’ve spent years wondering How to Know When a Relationship Is Over, but the truth is, you’ve known for a long time. You weren’t waiting for a sign; you were waiting for your heart to catch up to what your gut already told you.
This isn't on you. You didn't imagine the distance, the coldness, or the way you started shrinking yourself just to keep the peace. You offered him everything.
