If a person is not giving you the sense of security you require to be at peace, unless you have an undeniable obligation to them that justifies putting you through that turmoil, it is okay to distance yourself psychologically and/or physically. And if they’re reasonable enough, they should understand that.
Maybe they’re going through something, maybe they haven’t quite gotten to the better version of themselves yet, maybe there’s some sort of compatibility issue to be sorted out, or they’re just awful. Whatever it is, it is THEIR responsibility, not yours, to deal with their part of it.
If they wish to strive toward one path or another, sources of healing, clarity, empowerment, and more, abound. Available to anyone who cares enough to do the work. It’s not like, by protecting yourself, you’re causing them to starve.
Let them do what they oughta do. Time will tell whether you belong together or not.
