At least you are recognizing this now! That's awesome!
There's nothing wrong with walking away from a toxic relationship and never looking back. Nothing wrong at all. I often wonder where we learn that we should stick around and let others treat us like crap - is it out of obligation? Fear? Guilt? Trying to do the right thing? Maybe all of the above?
If you are doing the right thing for you - keep doing it!
