So often we think if we just try enough the partner who left us will come back. We are conditioned to believe that there is something wrong with us if they don't.
What if the reason they haven't come back is not because you were not enough for them but because they don't care? Not that they don't care about you but rather that they don't care about investing time or energy into your mutual dynamic because they lazy and uninterested. Perhaps we should stop trying to be enough for someone who can't be bothered. We should stop beating ourselves up for not being able to keep someone who didn't want to be kept in the first place.
Instead let us try to be enough for ourselves and only then, let us seek to find a partner that shows the utmost care for who we have become.
