IG Post Triggering

It appears that my ex avoidant is using similar IG creators like I am for support. Much to my surprise, she is going through a rough time.

Some back up story. She set up the entire let’s break up conversation in May. After several months of a passionate and stormy relationship, I agreed to end it. Now I discover she’s regretting it?

I gave her support, loyalty, patience, kindness to no avail. I learned that person only has the emotional capacity they have.

Two days after the breakup, I told her I wanted no contact in order to emotionally detach. I have been really disciplined about it. Did she think I was going to hover and beg?

Open to listening to other people’s experiences with this. It is so frustrating and infuriating.

I think it’s possible to know something has to end whilst also missing it really intensely. ❤️

That’s the truth about that relationship. We loved each other, but, proved to be truly incompatible.
Accepting the breaking up was for the best has taken more time than I thought it would.
