As you know, I had an abrupt ending that nearly ruined me. I had a T that constantly said "I'm not going anywhere" So I trusted him and regretted it
However, one thing I learned about it since then.... and he kinda taught me this with regards to my dogs, is to just enjoy the here and now. NO relationship lasts forever. If nothing else, someone dies. There will always be loss.
The point is, you can spend your life worrying about the loss or you can spend your life enjoying what you have today. I used to be terrified to lose him, and I would literally get angry if he mentioned ending therapy. I eventually just let it go though and decided I wanted to enjoy the time I spent with him, and even though it's hard and I miss him and I've had days I wish I never met him, I am glad I decided to not focus on the end, but rather today
It's a hard skill to do, no doubt but it's worth if it you can.
