Love shouldn’t drain you. Yet, many people stay in relationships that exhaust them emotionally because they confuse comfort with commitment.
If you constantly feel anxious, second-guess yourself, or like you’re “too much,” it might be time to pause. Emotional burnout happens when giving becomes a one-way street. You pour love, time, and energy into someone who no longer meets you halfway.
Start by checking in with yourself — are your needs being met? Are you still growing, or just surviving? Remember, love should bring peace, not chaos. Walking away doesn’t mean you failed; it means you’re choosing yourself. Sometimes, closing a chapter is the bravest way to make space for a healthier one.
