Girlies I’m curious, how did you know you needed to end your relationship with a man? What made you end it or what should have been the end of it?
My partner 32M and I 32F “broke up” a week ago with the intention of giving each other space and trying again. This is due to various things, but partially over exposure from moving in together, partially mental health issues. We have been dating since spring of last year so about a year and a half. I feel so conflicted emotionally and I can’t figure out what to do. We love each other, but we have things to work through for sure. It’s difficult to make these decisions when you love someone so much and you’re on the inside of the situation. I’m trying to figure out if love is enough. Any advice on how to weigh this while we give each other space?
TLDR: seeking advice on when it’s time to walk away or what made you walk away from a man

Okay, so I was in a relationship for 8 years and in the beginning it’s was great (he was love bombing me). As soon as I got comfortable he would control my every move, accuse me of cheating etc. He didn’t want to breakup and I convinced myself that it would all get better. Well, it led to him physically assaulting me and chocking me (I stayed) and the last straw was when he threatened to take my life. In your case, if you notice that you guys disagree on a lot of things, don’t communicate effectively etc and it led to a break, that’s a sign that you should probably reconsider staying. Love is not enough if it were, a break wouldn’t even be in question. Why would he risk you not coming back after said break? It’s either you’re together or you both move on. Commonalities, respect, similar future wants etc are the most important. I’m sorry that you’re experiencing this and I wish you the best.
