Yesterday I ended relationships with people that I feel have stopped caring about me. And while I’m glad I got what I needed to off my chest and eventually left, I was so willing to put in so much and change to make it work. The response when I said I felt like leaving was “I’m sorry this had to happen, but I respect your wishes. Sorry it has come to this.” And while I appreciate the respect, and this is going to sound very hypocritical, part of me was hoping that they would try to get me to stay. They didn’t. Because at the end of the day if they didn’t try then they didn’t care. The worst feeling in the world is knowing that you would have taken the bullet for someone who would have jumped behind you.
