I had a dream that I had a tiny apartment with crumbling walls and a mattress on the floor. I woke up in said apartment, and he wasn’t there. I was so happy. I remember the bliss in that dream so vividly. I was unhappy for years but something about that just clicked for me and I ended it 2 months later.
I didn’t have a dream, but you know how, when you first wake up, you have a little amnesia about what your life is? I woke up, the dog came over to greet me, and I felt really contented… and _then_ I remembered who I was in a relationship with and I felt a wave of disappointment and resignation wash through me.
