“Ending a 5-year toxic relationship”

I've been with my boyfriend for 5 years, but he's always been hot and cold. I've tried to make it work, but his inconsistency, lack of effort, and poor communication have taken a toll on me.

What I wish I knew
"I should've left sooner"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't settle for someone who doesn't make an effort in the relationship."
