Hiya.

My ex partner and I split around May after being together for almost six years. It was definitely a hard summer; moving out of our first place together, finding housing during a pandemic, learning to be alone after six years... it’s already difficult enough.

I feel like I’m mostly adjusted, but definitely lonely sometimes. One of my biggest issues with my ex partner was that he could never get his financial situation under control. It caused a huge rift between us. He had debt from when we first started dating and just never really tried hard enough to get any of it sorted. I talked to him recently and he’s seeing someone new and has paid off all of his debt.

I know that this isn’t healthy thinking this way and so that’s why I’m getting it out into the open, but I’ve been feeling pretty bummed about it all. I’m very happy he’s gotten his financials in check but I wish I was worth doing it. It would have solved so many issues that I had with him.

There’s no point in dwelling on what if’s, I know. I just needed to vent.

Thanks.
