Thatās 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 againāwhether 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. Itās still hard. But itās my choice nowānot just something Iām stuck in.
