If you're fresh out of a breakup, a thought might occur where you wonder, "Did I do the right thing?" 

If you're still in the grieving phase, it's completely normal for doubt to resurface. However, if your peace of mind depends on you finding the answer to that question, here are five major signs that you are not to blame for your breakup: 

1. They Betrayed Your Trust 

This, without question, is a deal-breaker. One of the defining pillars in relationships is trust and any connection devoid of such value isn't worth beating yourself black and blue for. If they cheated, if they get caught getting flirty with somebody else, or anything else along with that sense— then it was a good call that you walked away. 

2. If They've Made A Habit Out Of Their Mistakes

Healthy communication is a crucial element in the making of a long-term relationship, but if you're starting to sound like a broken record every time they commit the same mistake, and if they're not actively trying to be better where they lack, you might as well be reviving the dead while you're at it— since you're so keen on doing the impossible. 

3. They've Abused You 

Whether it's physical or mental abuse, you shouldn't ever tolerate such traumatizing and damaging behavior. It could leave a lasting impact on your mental health, and it might take you a lifetime to recover. 

4. You Sit At The Very Bottom of Their Priority List

You deserve a loving soul who's 100% invested in you— any less than that should send you off running in the other direction. No matter how much love you may have for this person, if they're not sure if they'll choose you, you were right to leave. prioritize your self-worth, always. 

5. Your Needs Weren't Met

If it's a one-sided relationship, you were right to put down your armors and leave. It's a battle you can never escape the scars of— a war you're bound to lose. If you're the only one giving and never receiving in a relationship, it's about time you walk away. 

In the words of Elyse Meyers, "There are people that are ready, and willing, and able to love you well, and fiercely." Choose yourself first, always.
