Why Leaving Feels Like the Wrong Decision (Even When It's Right)

from Bougie with Boundaries: The Deep Dive Hosted by Lisa Washington

Everybody told you to leave. And you already knew you should. But knowing and actually being able to go are two completely different things — and nobody talks about why walking away from someone who was never even fully yours can feel like the most devastating loss of your life. In this episode we’re getting into all of it. The grief that doesn’t make sense on paper. The trauma bonding that kept you attached longer than logic ever would have. The sunk cost spiral that made leaving feel like admitting you wasted years. And the identity question nobody warns you about — who are you when you stop hoping for this person? Leaving isn’t a one-time decision. It’s one you have to keep making. And the hardest boundary you’ll ever set isn’t with him. It’s with yourself.
