You deserve applause, op. You took control over your life and dumped that boy you were with. Some women out here will stay in a relationship like that for YEARS (even marrying them). You are definitely one of the strong ones.

Don't be so hard on yourself OP! You should be congratulating yourself for recognizing these things and moving on. It's almost like a right of passage to make this mistake. Now on to the worthy men!
AND now you have a Master's degree as a "bonus gift" to yourself.
We've all been there. Don't beat yourself up about it. Consider it a part of your education. Sometimes you have to make mistakes to learn. You seem happy in your relationship now. What if, by leaving your ex earlier on, you had somehow missed the opportunity to meet your current love? (Say, for example, you had left your ex early and ended up meeting someone else right away, someone also not right for you). What if that was an experience you had to go through to have the good things in life that you have now? You never know.

Thank you. I realized that my life was not going to improve and I did not care to be in a relationship with someone that didn't love me and not willing to go anywhere in life. Leaving him and the city behind took a toll on me emotionally and physically because I invested so much. I look back and see how far I have come in a year and how little prgress he has made. I glad I got out while I am still young and have my entire life ahead of me.

Great way to look at it. I think being in a relationship that was fairly one-sided, I am able to appreciate someone while being very honest in what it is I need from a relationship. I need a relationship to be a two-way street. I need someone motivated. I also know what my breaking limits are. I proved to myself that I can be a very giving and loyal partner that would do anything to make things work, but knew when it was time to walk away. So once I walked away, I decided for myself I deserved better and was only willing to invest in a man that had the qualities that I needed. No more settling as I clearly did before. I suppose I did not love myself enough to know my own worth.
