I always used to think in a relationship for bad or for worse, you should stick with each other and grow together and help the other person grow to a greater potential. I truly believed that for years.
Me and my boyfriend met when we were young and when he was in a bad place. He says that I helped him get out of that and made him feel better. But after a few years of dating, he seemed to fall out again mentally and was not in a good place again.
I decided to call it off and break up so that he could overcome his problems on his own and man up. I feel really bad for saying that and even writing it but I truly thought sometimes people have to figure their own shit up and get back up from that.
I still love him and hope that he grows and reaches his fullest potential.

Not a dickhead, you just sound exhausted and that’s okay.
Relationships with people who have mental health struggles can be draining, I know I’m a pretty miserable person to be around when this stuff hits.
It sucks for all parties involved but when I recover even if that person is gone, I’d like to think everything happened the way it was supposed to.
