Such a touchy topic. I know the feeling and exactly what you’re going through because I’ve been there—that heavy loneliness which feels unbearable. I understand, especially if you’re the one who initiated the breakup. You feel lost, like your world just collapsed in ways you didn’t expect. But before you spiral into self-blame, remind yourself of this simple truth: no one can see the future

You’re probably replaying every moment in your head, asking yourself what were the red flags? To be honest, it's easy to brush them off. It's easy to dismiss them because at such an important moment in your life, who cares if your partner didn’t bother to check in on you? Who cares if your partner showed zero empathy when you opened about your pain? You exposed your deepest wounds, only to have that vulnerability turned against you. The betrayal tastes bitter when someone you cared for uses your pain like a weapon, only to cut deeper into your wound

you overlook the small betrayals your partner displays, it gives an opportunity to see both your true selves, while opening your eyes to know exactly who you’re dealing with. Sometimes, the time spent together exposes how broken you both are and reveals hidden truths of weaknesses you both have. Without this experience, you might never have uncovered this truth

This is your chance to break free, to take back your power. Be grateful for the clarity. It allows you to save yourself from further heartache, to step away before the damage becomes irreversible.

Be honest and ask yourself, honestly: where do these feelings, thoughts, and negative emotions come from? These thoughts may come from the challenges you faced in the past and bad experiences that shape how you see yourself

There are several reasons people stay trapped in uncomfortable, unhealthy relationships. The Feelings of worthlessness or financial dependency, another is abuse. If finance isn’t your reason to hold on, and your life isn't in grave danger, then leave and find the inner peace that only God can provide. Your partner can’t give you this happiness. This peace comes from God.

Love never judges or accuses. Love flows freely, both given and received, and has no price tag. As humans, we all need love. Men and women may view love differently, but it’s still called love.

Begin your healing now. Start believing that you matter. Remember, love and happiness come from within. Expect a lot of work ahead; recovery won’t happen overnight. Instant healing doesn’t exist, especially when past traumas keep resurfacing, haunting your thoughts and dreams during the daytime and even sometimes at night.

I promise you brighter days are ahead. This ending is a beginning. This breakup doesn’t define you—it’s a doorway to reclaiming who you are, to end the cycle of self-doubt, and to stop believing you don’t deserve love. Be bold enough to take the next step, to move forward without looking back. You’ll find that the life waiting for you is worth every ounce of courage it takes to leave the past behind. Just have the courage to take the next big step, and you won’t regret it.
