The Love That Kept Me Stuck

Eight years together. Seven days to be replaced. I thought losing him would destroy me. I didn't realise I had already lost myself.

The Love That Kept Me Stuck is a raw, honest reflection on loving someone who slowly stopped choosing you and the painful awakening that follows when you finally choose yourself. This isn't about dramatic endings. It's about the quiet heartbreaks: lying next to someone who feels miles away, shrinking your needs to keep the peace, mistaking being needed for being loved, and watching them move on as if you never existed.

For anyone who has ever:

- Stayed longer than they should have

- Felt invisible in a relationship

- Blamed themselves for someone else's distance

- Struggled to let go without closure

This book speaks to the moment you realise love shouldn't cost you your identity. Heart-breaking yet empowering, Abbey Higgs explores what it means to stop chasing, stop explaining, and stop abandoning yourself for someone who won't meet you halfway. Because love should not feel like loss. Being chosen should not feel like begging. And no relationship is worth losing yourself. If you're healing from heartbreak or learning how to rebuild your self-worth, this is the reminder you need:

You weren't too much.

You weren't replaceable.

You survived.

And this is where you finally choose yourself.
