That’s the question that haunted me for years. I stayed for a long time because it felt safer than starting over. But deep inside, I was aching. I missed touch, connection, even just feeling seen. I started going to therapy, and slowly, I realized I had to choose myself again—whether that meant staying and rebuilding, or leaving and starting fresh. For me, staying meant finding new ways to connect and rewriting the rules of our relationship. It’s still hard. But it’s my choice now—not just something I’m stuck in.
