You know,

Sometimes we try to take an approach of "trying to be big" about a problem without going "off", but it's hard. When someone has the attitude that you should be forgiving or strong or whatever, they are putting additional pressure on you to actually be strong for the both of you. It goes back to being taken for granted.

We all have a responsibility to acknowledge to ourselves that it is OKAY to be angry and that we don't feel like being strong all of the time. For some, the feelings just simply run out. For some, the feelings overflow. It's exhausting going on this emotional rollercoaster, but the ride ends eventually. Only you know when it's enough, so don't gauge whether or not he leaves on your happiness. Part of him is already gone, so trust your gut and yourself.
