Well, just broke up with my fiancee slash best friend because codependency is awful.
I feel like a monster, I haven't dumped people before.
I hope she can find happiness. I also wish we could be friends, but I know it's not that simple. I even hope someday she recovers and is that sweet girl I met six years ago. But being her lover, therapist, and manager wasn't getting her there.
@ikea_femme I'm sorry, those things really hurt #hug but sometimes they really do have to happen...
@ikea_femme i think it's really emotionally healthy that you realized these things and acted on them despite the likelihood of short-term pain resulting
@ikea_femme you're not a monster. Breaking the vicious cycle of codependency is difficult and generally the better thing to do for both sides of the equation.
All the best wishes as you're healing. 💜
That isn't to say literal manager, just the person keeping her organized and pushing her to make appointments.
