It completely freaks me out. His whole attitude about it makes me insane, like it's so casual for him, so painless. Why doesn't he feel sad? Why am I not valuable to him? Knowing the answers intellectually doesn't do anything for how I feel emotionally right now.
As hard as it is to accept, it's not personal. He's not doing it TO you, he's just doing it.
You are magnifying your suffering by making it about you. It's not. It's about him.
