Leave the relationship for emotional safety

I realized my partner's lack of emotional support was a deal-breaker for me, and I left the relationship to focus on myself

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had prioritized my own emotional well-being sooner"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate your emotional needs clearly and set boundaries to maintain a healthy relationship"
