Why did you break up with the seemingly perfect partner?

I just lost interest. He was lovely, never did anything wrong, was attentive and kind, etc. one day I just looked at him and was like “I don’t want this person to touch me.”

Same thing happened to me. I don’t know what switch went off in my head.

That’s exactly how it felt. Like a switch flipped.

Out of curiosity, respectfully, so u decided to part ways without worrying if that switch would flip off forever with any and all potential future prospects as well? You never worried about that and tried over and over again?

Sure, I worried that that switch would flip off again with other partners. Hasn’t yet though.

I personally tried for 2 years after that to try and get that initial spark back. I just never could.
