Made it out
Hey team. I just wanted to share that, after a long time of hard internal battles and relationship turmoil, I’ve made it out.
Last Monday my long-term partner (man) and I separated. We sent messages out to close friends on Saturday telling them that we still see each other as family, and that we’ll still be spending time together as friends. I’ve ‘come out’ to a few close friends and family. We’ve cried, its been sad, but there is a lot of joy there for both of us. Its a new chapter.
It’s been a long hard road, with a lot of self-hatred and self-blame, questioning, and pain. But on the other side now everything is clear. This is the biggest act of self love I’ve ever taken.
Thank you so much to this subreddit for supporting me through it. Love to all of you, and may you all have the strength to persevere and find your happiness.
