Never really paid attention until now . . .

I'm possibly headed for a breakup as we speak.

2 days ago, I could not live without this person and that drove me to voice some paranoid/insulting concerns about the other person's habits, which pissed this person off and made them ignore me.

And now I feel nothing at all and could walk away and never think about it again. I find the whole thing kind of a chore, kind of annoying now. In my mind, she's a different person, but now I know that it's me who keeps shifting.

This is probably nothing new to anyone here, it's just that I've never been aware of this stuff while this has happened before. And I have to admit, I kind of like the strength of this state . . . like I don't need that person, like I'm just fine without them, whereas before it was this pathetic need for all their time . . .

Now, will I just end up wanting to crawl back, or will I be able to continue progressing with treatment without a woman as a security blanket?

If you feel better without needing someone, perhaps it's best to take a break from relationships? It could be that you are healthier without someone right now.

I'm betting you'll have regrets and run out into the world and latch onto the next woman that lets you.
That's what I tend to to, anyway.
I like knowing I don't NEED a man... and I've proved to myself that I don't...
But that doesn't mean that if I were to randomly leave my bf I wouldn't go jump on the next thing with legs that showed interest in me.
It's what we do...
It's how we are.
You're aware... you can pick your path here, based on what you've done in the past...

So I'd have to map that...
Like right now.
