Thank you for sharing—I totally get where you’re coming from. It’s tough when people hold onto an older version of you, especially when you’re growing and setting boundaries. Saying "no" and encouraging your partner to go without you is such a strong, self-loving move—good for you!
It’s frustrating when conversations don’t land, but sometimes it’s more about their discomfort with change than them not caring. Your growth doesn’t diminish the relationship; it just shifts it. Some friends will adapt, others may drift, and that’s okay—it creates space for connections that truly align with who you are now.
You’re doing amazing. Keep honoring your journey—you deserve relationships that see and support the current you. 💛
