maybe they’re a partner, maybe they’re a friend, maybe they’re a family member. regardless of the type of relationship, you know that this person isn’t good for you. it doesn’t even have to be because they’re abusive — maybe there’s just something about this connection that brings you stress. maybe your body is trying to tell you. why does your stomach hurt before and after you see them? you know you need to let this person go, but there’s a part of you who doesn’t want to. you’ve gotten used to them being in your life, and you can’t imagine a life without them. you want to only remember the good moments. you want to believe that things will be *all good* again. but were they ever *all good*? this person is never going to be the idealized version you’ve created in your head. ending the connection will hurt, but you’re already hurting yourself by staying in it.

thoroughly planning a breakup so that you end that chapter with empathy and understanding instead of with anger and resentment in the heat of emotions. makes moving on and forward in life so much easier.
now also have a best friend who has seen me at my lowest and with whom i can share most every experience without judgement.
only applicable if this individual is healthy enough to keep in ur life.

i feel like there’s such an all or nothing culture around friendship these days — what it really comes down to is: do you feel comfortable continuing to have this person in your life? is it always going to be nagging at the back of your mind that they might not respect u/ur relationship? you don’t have to make a decision right now! but going forward it’s something to keep in mind — if I were you I might not trust this person with vulnerable information, I would be less emotionally invested in them, and I would be extra skeptical of their words/actions. but maybe they’re still fun to hang out with sometimes; I don’t think that’s a crime. although I would def keep them away from boyfriend. does it mean you never have to speak to them again? no — unless you find yourself worrying about it and resenting them! in that case you’re totally justified to move on with your life without them in it. ultimately I think boyfriend should say to (sober) friend hey that was super uncool and don’t do that again. it shouldn’t be your responsibility to deal with this. idk tho that’s just my onion 💯
