This is kind of an obvious statement but it's a situation I find myself quite often. I know how unfair it is though, I would hate if someone idealized me in the same way I've idealized them. I don't even really know how to describe it but i'm pretty sure everyone on this subreddit knows what i'm talking about anyways. Having to let go of a relationship when i'm crazy attached is one of the hardest things in the world. Especially because my partner is extremely stable and emotionally mature. You would think that's a good thing but there's a part of me that wishes so badly he would just come back even though our relationship is unhealthy. In my head I thought he was my forever as silly and naive as it sounds, and the only way I'm able to really let go is by exclusively focusing on all the downfalls between us and trying to take off the rose coloured glasses. It sucks tho... seeing a situation for what it really is when in your head you thought you were in the greatest romance novel.
