You are very brave!
Congratulations!
How I did it: Chances are if you have added this to your 43 things you have made up your mind...so why havent you done it already?
Truth is its very hard to turn away from a bad relationship, let alone a good one thats just not working out.
Ask yourself if you are doing all the things you want to do to fulfill your life. Think of all the things you could be doing/experiencing with the right person. No matter how small the dream, let it motivate you to break free.
Without our dreams, we have nothing.
