Sometimes ending something as hard as it is is the right thing to do and is a new beginning.

I left my long term significant other of 9 years. And we weren’t on and off or just dating, we lived together as a family playing role in each other kids’ lives and sharing a house. It was hard to leave, but a year after that I met my now husband and my marriage is happy and healthy.

If I didn’t leave I’d never met my husband. So things happen for a reason

PS on and off relationships don’t really have a future
