I've been plenty devastated by breakups I've initiated. To me it can almost seem worse, because there's the loss, plus the self-doubt of the decision, plus having to fight off their arguments about how wrong I am for leaving them, plus the guilt of hurting them, but in this case I don't think I'd feel I'd hurt her. It seems like it's going to be devastating, just because I keep sorta practicing it by deciding to leave, then the pain starts up.
And thanks for saying that stuff about how people are pulling for me. That cheers me up to hear.
