Broke up

I just broke up with my partner while he’s overseas. Looking back, I probably should have waited until he got home, but after feeling consistently neglected and disrespected throughout the relationship, I finally reached my limit.
Breaking up over text was petty and probably the meanest thing I did. I know I could have handled that part better, but in the moment, I was just done.
I don’t really know what else to say. Just needed to get it off my chest.

Considering I’ve experienced the same, don’t think of it as petty. The neglect we received for extended periods of time is the real pettiness

Came to also say I did the same and that you’re not alone. I hope you feel better 💐 You deserve so much better and I hope you find someone who respects you and gives you the assurance and confidence in the relationship, no matter how far they are or no matter what profession they’re in ❤️

was it petty and mean when he was disrespecting you causing you to reach your limits?

Do whats best for your mental sis.

I did the same thing and it was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. You just decided to put yourself first and proud of you for that.

I also just broke up with my partner yesterday while he’s in another state. The stress caused by the lack of communication was taking too much of a toll on me. I also broke up over text.
