Hey everyone,

I’m in a casual relationship with someone, and while I agreed to it at first, I’m starting to feel stuck. He’s made it clear that he doesn’t want anything more, and since it’s an open arrangement, he’s also seeing other girls. I know this was the deal from the start, but I’m realizing that it’s no longer working for me.

The problem is, I’m finding it really hard to end things. A big part of it is loneliness—I know that walking away is the right thing to do, but the thought of being completely on my own again is making it difficult. I don’t want to keep holding onto something that’s not fulfilling me, but I also don’t know how to actually let go.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you manage to leave when loneliness kept pulling you back? Would really appreciate any advice or words of encouragement.

Thanks ❤️
