Oh I get it alao. For 4.5 years I validated and apologized. His perception is not reality though and guilt was eating me alive over something I didn’t actually do. When he told me we would never be a couple again, I just gave up. I have validated to the point of foregoing my own reality and my own feelings. I felt like I went to sleep and woke up completely abandoned, I never saw it coming. I would have kept trying forever but I have to have some self respect.
