Letting fear and anxiety cause you to return to unhealthier and unhappier circumstances is only going to increase your stress. You won't gain anything good.
That's all true except for the fear and anxiety. I wanted to return to him because I am lonely, struggling, and am going through a major transition of unemployment all alone. I wish I had a partner that I could go through this with, who would support me and cheer me on. I'm not even thinking of other men, the future, or of finding someone else eventually. It's not on my mind. I just want help, and someone to be there with me through this rough period. It's my emotions talking.
