Leaving a long-term relationship is SCARY. You don't know what's going to happen once you intiate the ending... and as soon as you do, the doubt creeps in. You wonder if you made the right decision. Or you're on the edge of leaving, trying to make sure you make the right decision as to whether to break up with him or not. I'll share some of the more subtle reasons you were right to make the decision to leave, as well as clarify the more obvious ones (though they're not always obvious to us before) to give you a variety of perspectives on why the relationship might not have been the right one for you. And through it all, I used my experience of leaving my 7-year relationship to get divorced after just a year of marriage to give you examples of how I knew it was the right decision for me to leave. Don't second guess yourself - learn why breaking up can be the right decision for your happiness and growth.
