Hi all, https://www.reddit.com/r/AskMen/s/w7saNroBbc https://www.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/s/iLzrKhY3Ey I (36M) ended a relationship last night and I’m struggling with second-guessing myself. The relationship had ongoing issues for a while. I’d communicated what I needed, asked for change, tried to work through things, and it felt like nothing really shifted. It eventually got to the point where I felt drained and unhappy enough to leave. This morning I woke up to a lot of bargaining messages. Promises to be better, help more, go to therapy, be like the “old her,” even suggestions of trying long distance again (which is how we originally started). A lot of “I can change” and “we can fix this.” My head is kind of in panic mode right now. Part of me wonders if I’m making a mistake. Another part of me thinks these changes would have happened before it got to the point of me leaving. For the men here who’ve been in a similar situation: Did you ever go back after the “I’ll change” stage? If you did, did things actually change? If you didn’t, how did you deal with the guilt and second-guessing? Thanks! submitted by /u/Typical-Jury-7984
