5 years gone

Hello everyone,

So the past few weeks I’ve made the decision to move out of my apartment shared with my boyfriend of 5 years, and end the relationship. I haven’t dropped the bomb yet because I am trying to get my ducks in a row. I have about $1,000 to my name and not a clue what my future holds but I’m not happy and am not going to spend the last few years of my 20’s miserable.

My question is, does it get better? 5 years is so long. We know each others every habit and we come home to each other every day. I’m just terrified at starting over and not having that companionship. Anyone else ever go through this?
