After 7 years we finally parted ways. I loved you and still do. I could no longer take the emotional toll of your imbalance and I lost all my capacity to prop you up. It’s been 5 months and I’m still in mourning. You should have been my wife but I couldn’t imagine a life with someone that is so unhappy all the time. I couldn’t imagine raising kids and trying to manage your sadness and self doubt. You want me back but I can’t. I’m exhausted and defeated. All that’s left is this hole in my life and nothing to fill it with other than this sadness. I will recover – you will recover – but for now we both suffer.
