Hi Jessica, thanks for touching on such a painful and for many people shameful topic, that of emotional abandonment. I think it’s cruel when people don’t have the guts to look inside themselves, see and feel what they feel (or not feel anymore) and then have the courage to gently and respectfully tell their partner. From the realization you are emotionally abandoned to actually leaving the relationship it takes a long, painful time. It’s so comforting to hear that you were able to see yourself and make your decisions. I wish you luck! Liza
