So I thought it was a little bit weird that he was getting a headstart on that.

And the fact he hadn't really spoke to me about it at all either.

But at that point, yeah,

I was very much ready for the space because of everything that happened with what happened while I was sleeping.

I was quite keen on the idea of him not being there all the time and I just figured we would sort it out a little bit later down the line when I've found somewhere else to live because that had to be my priority at that time.

He was...

very much spending all of his time at his parents' house.

Like he moved back to his parents' house.

His family's very close knit.

They were always doing a lot of fun things.

And once he went back to that life, he just really didn't have any interest in spending time with me anymore.

I think the heaviness of what had happened, in my opinion, it seemed like an easy way out.

It seemed like an easy way for him to just drift away and that would be that.

And I think I was okay with it at that time because, like I said, I just wanted some space.

I wanted him just, I wanted to sleep.

I wanted to sleep and feel safe and I wanted to spend those last moments with that house that brought me so much joy.

um safety as a child and so I wasn't even that bothered by it but it yeah it got to a point where he would start just very bluntly saying I'm going to bed good night and then just like I know his sleeping habits I know you know he sits and scroll like doom scrolls for a while on his phone all that but I'd instantly try to call him just because I I'd want to say I love you I want to say good night and he wouldn't answer and

And that to me was very reminiscent of a time period where he was not being faithful to our relationship.

So that's when I decided to break up with him.

He didn't make it easy.
