this is just breaking my heart to watch so i had to stop. my bf ended things with me last month and i'm still hurting everyday from it. while he's going to do therapy, i wish we could just work through this together. he doesn't even know why he ended things or if he made a mistake, hence the therapy.

*hugs* so sorry you have to go through this.

thanks. it's so hard because i don't know what to do besides be patient as he starts therapy and he tells me what he's uncovering from there.

it's been a year I broke up and I don't think I'm over us. Yesterday I had this gut feeling/sixth sense whatever you want to call that I was replaced. Maybe it was nothing or maybe it truly happened. It's hard bc a while ago he tried to start a conversation and I was super receptive but now that I tried he left me on read so yeah. I know what you going through <3

[halevy]

i'm sorry, darling. :( it's so hard. i know i haven't been replaced because we agreed to maybe see if we can work things out eventually, but it's just... hard. he's also been constantly reaching out and still inviting me to the usual stuff online (as soon as covid happened we went virtual for everything basically) so it's confusing at the same time.

yeah it was truly unfair that mine reached out to me after idek months without speaking with that whole "I saw a movie about your country (we have different nationalities) and remind me of you" to us speaking like old friends and he even calling me by our nickname in an oops freud moment. Also we talked how we haven't been with anyone since we broke up. But then I didn't let it stay something chill and already started to bring you know topics that were at the root of our breakup and he redrawn again sigh. I'm always scared of the moment he find someone else bc he really put his all and he was the best thing that ever happened to me and I screwed up mostly. But eh, we gotta move on somehow......

[halevy]

that sounds rough. :( i'm so sorry.

mine is way too long and complicated to explain, but like right after valentine's he felt... he was leading me on and inadequate or something and he ended things without really knowing why or where it came from. he was hyper-stressed (and has adhd) about stuff, including the fact his mom had to stay in town with him while tending to her medical appointments, so he had no privacy for like a month and we didn't see each other from the end of jan until valentine's for a day. then three days later he's crying on my couch and saying he still wants me in his life, but i deserve better. it came out of nowhere, it caught me off guard and i'm still not sure how to process it.

sounds tough but at least he clearly still loves you. You just need to asset if all these obstacles in the way are worth overcoming for this relationship. Mine ended basically bc I (just like yours apparently in an impulse) broke up and then regret it but by then he has seen the light and was like I'm alright fam thanks lmao. I'm too immature and was so scared of leaving my comfort zone to grow in this relationship (we were long distance and we wanted to stop being but for that I would need to leave my country and I have depression/anxiety issues) anyways it's a whole mess but our relationship was always super healthy and he was always a prince with me that's what makes it even harder to get over you know? I have no desire to meet anyone else and it's been a year.

[halevy]

covid makes it harder to meet people. i haven't even been able to meet new friends because of it.

<3 to you. maybe you and your ex will find a way back together. i'm a hopeless romantic no matter what i say and i want to believe people who love each other will find their way back to one another.
