erikaToday I am feeling good about my decision to leave Austin.
It's been a long time since I was confident I did the right thing there—maybe never. But today I am feeling good about it. Helping that along is reading this metafilter thread about someone leaving an emotionally/physically abusive person.
I don't know that I could call Austin emotionally abusive. It's hard to say whether he was or not, whether part of it was just me being oversensitive or whether he really crossed the line—although certainly his last message to me did cross a line. But he was just plain mean to me after we broke up, whether it was because he was hurting or not, it doesn't matter anymore. I did the right thing leaving him, for me. And maybe for him, I will never know. I'm okay with that. At least right now.
I want to be with someone who reciprocates my love in an emotionally healthy way. That would be a nice change.
