I finally did it! I (28F) left my (36M) LVM of three years. I know it was the the right choice, but my heart feels so heavy.

The timing was awful! I broke up with him just a few days after his birthday. I had to work on his actual birthday, so we made plans to celebrate a few days later. But when that day came I felt so drained, I couldn't fake it anymore. Right before we were going to meet up I felt an urge of strength and I decided to call him and end it. The last thing he told me was "NEVER CALL ME AGAIN! FUCK YOU!" with such rage that it definitely scared me. His true colors came out and it reassured me I had made the right choice, 100% it was the right choice. But I feel so sad! I find myself saying maybe I should have waited after his birthday. I can't help but feel like a terrible person for doing that to him. And I know it's crazy to feel bad after all the pain and suffering he put me through, but yet Im sitting here heartbroken.

I am writing to you in hopes that your words of encouragement will help me stop feeling sorry for his LOW VALUE ASS! (sorry for the language, I am just so frustrated!)

Any tips you have that will be help me focus on my new leveling up journey will be greatly appreciated. Thank you Queens, for being the backbone I've always needed. Wish I could have found you sooner!
