Lookback: After 3 years

Break up with boyfriend

Feeling extremely lonely in our relationship due to lack of communication and appreciation. He would go 12 hours without calling or texting me and didn't appreciate my art or crochet work.

What I wish I knew
"How to prioritize my own emotional needs in a relationship"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly and honestly with your partner about your feelings and needs."
