I feel this. Like being in a comfortable, but ultimately unhappy relationship. The change is rough and you’ll “emotionally bleed” for a while, but sometimes it’s for the best.

Me as well. Hang in there, even though it seems rough now and you may miss the other person dearly, it’s change that is needed for a much happier future.

Been there, hold strong. You probably know why it needs to be done; write down some of the reasons while you're motivated, so when you're inevitably feeling weak later you can look at it and remind yourself why it was the right choice.

I agree with this method. Surprisingly I have written a list in the form of questions to remind myself how unhappy I’d be if I went back. So I recommend others in my current situation to give that a try as well to reinforce the change, because it will be very tempting to find those old comforts again.
