Breakups are almost always framed as devastation. Heartbreak. Loss. Grief. And while all of that can be true, it is not the whole truth.

There are relationships that look fine on the outside. No obvious betrayal. No dramatic fights. No clear reason to leave. And yet, inside, love feels heavy. Quietly exhausting. Emotionally confusing.
