“I can’t let you say no to this – to us! It may be your instinct to run away and leave this all behind, but do you see me running? I’m here fighting for a future. For us. I’m doing ALL THIS FOR YOU!”
My voice started rising in the passion and commitment to our relationship. I see his scared face on the opposite side of the room with tear lines running down his jawline. I compose myself.
“I’m sorry I yelled and I’m sorry I broke you. I really wanted to fix what we had, but I see now that I’m not good for us. I’ll pack my stuff up and be out of here by tomorrow morning. I’m truly sorry, Mike. I’m so sorry I hurt you. Goodbye, Mike.”
I leave the room dejected. For the first time, I am aware that I am the biggest problem and that hurts my self-esteem more than I wish it did.
