The sad thing is that often toxic relationships have big lows, but they also have big highs. You get addicted to the good times, and they’re easier to remember than the bad times after things end. Honestly, it will pass. Just break all ties, it’ll only make it harder if you don’t.

Sooner the better, you don’t want him to waste money and time on you over Christmas. Honestly, a long term partner once left me in January and I was bummed I had wasted another shitty Christmas with him & his family!
