I was dependent on him…
You can’t afford to be emotionally dependent on anyone but yourself. You control the way you feel. Start acting like it.
“I was dependent on him. Materially, emotionally — all of it. And that was our downfall…”
You can’t afford to be emotionally dependent on anyone but yourself. That includes your romantic partners and the people you love most. You are the only one who has the power to control your happiness. Act like it.
