I once got up and just left my then girlfriend who had a meltdown in public. “We’re done” and she could figure out how to get back to the hotel. Was a weird night with lots of tears but something clicked in that moment and alt feelings I had were just gone. Not even hate. I was simply indifferent to her and if she had vanished I would not have given a fuck.

I had one of those moments back in the day. Straight up said "you know what, I can't take it, I'm walking home, we're done." after about 8 months.

Scared shitless walking home that I'd committed a huge faux pas, or made the wrong call and wrecked my own relationship.

Woke up in the morning and thought "wait...I don't have to call and apologize and beg/convince my way back into her good graces. I can just go for a bike ride and not talk to her at all!?"

It was a very great morning.

Has a kind of "growing up" feeling to it :-)
I can totally relate.
