AS - Thank you, I really needed some positive feedback to lift me up a bit.

I know that it's crazy for someone to say they were waiting to be won back. That's a Hollywood version of life and not how real relationships work. I do know that I contributed to her falling out of love. We had a toxic dynamic. Combine 3 kids, a stressful relocation with massive career changes...

I'm sure I'm not the only person here who looks back and thinks things could have been different. That it didn't have to turn out this way. But it did.

The anxiety flooding and minor panic attacks returning are rough. I know the feeling well, I know I'll get through it, but I still absolutely hate it.
