I couldn’t stop crying reading this piece. Not sure if it’s because it’s so well written or maybe it’s because I’m just still so emotional going through a recent break up myself from a partner of 7 years. Either way, thank you for sharing this.

Thank you so much for sharing, I can totally understand after going through a separation after 6 years of being together. You will find love again, my partner now adores me and you will find that person <3

I just reread this for the third time, not that I’ve suffered a recent breakup, but several over many years with the man who is now my husband. I will never forget the grief of those times, so I empathize with you and your loss. I’ve waited patiently for an answer to “the separation” that was not spoken of yet was so obvious. I feared that the move to LA was somehow representing an unraveling of the “threads” you so eloquently describe. I know that you both will find love again but will come to cherish the love that you shared … xo

What a beautiful piece of writing! Feel The Heal is what I always tell myself.

Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to get over my fear of outgrowing a container of love (and because of that fear, I haven't fully attempted love). I'm wondering if maybe love is worth some tightness. Even if I eventuality outgrow something. 🙏⚡

I just logged off a zoom call with my therapist where I spent the last hour crying over the end of my 5.5 year relationship. I opened instagram to distract myself and the first post I saw was about this article. This was a gift. Thank you for these words.

Been in similar emotional poles of gratitude and heartbreak. 8 months since my breakup with a partner of 4 years. Thank you for this.
