I was seeing someone for 2 months and ended it yesterday. It wasn't an official relationship, there was a substantial age difference, and I did not feel that we emotionally connected. Also, since I'm being honest, I didn't feel seen by him, and felt a little judged regarding my anxiety avoidance issues.

There were some nice things too. He was a good guy. Geez I guess that it all I can think of. I liked his company sometimes. He truly treated me well and with respect.

I just am feeling that loss.

I am feeling badly about myself a little too.

But mostly I just feel down today even though I feel it was the right decision for me to make.

I am glad you are allowing yourself to grieve. The feeling is still hard to bear even when we know it is for the best.

It's understandable you'd feel this way, Ptak! You're not alone! Some decisions can be right bus STILL very hard to make! In fact, the right decisions of ourselves can be THE toughest ones! Give yourself ALL the time you need to grieve! There's NO need to hurry at all! Just take ALL the time and space that you need, ok? We'll be RIGHT HERE with you! Please be kind to yourself, ok? Please keep us updated as much as you possibly can if you want to! Sending many hugs to you, Ptak!

Aw, thank you so much for your wise words and hugs, you guys.

It was definitely the best decision for me. All of it. I'm feeling okay about it. I'm also feeling empowered about my decision.

To anyone struggling with making a life decision and to anyone being told what to do and struggling to please others: you are the captain of your own ship. In the end, its up to you. You know your self best. Guidance can be good, but sometimes not and in the end its up to you.
