So sad
Devastated my boyfriend broke up with me by text and couldn’t face me. My bestest friend and someone that I loved more than anything. Someone I saw everyday and slept next to every night. Just gone. Life is so empty now.😭😭😭😭
I miss him
I was seeing someone not long but in a short time became my person I was excited to talk to everyday. He said he loved me and I loved him. We became each other’s safe space, where we loved the way we made each other feel physically and mentally. He said he has a lot going on in his life and that I deserve better but I wanna continue to love him through the tough times but he won’t let me. Im scared he won’t come back to me or I’ll never be able to move on or that I won’t find this kind of love again. It’s only been 2 weeks and i feel like my world has been turn upside down
We didn’t wanna end things
We didn’t wanna end things honestly we had a really good click for each other and he was really into me and I was equally as interested in him. We had a lot of fun together. We danced and sing songs together. Cook together spend time paddle boarding walking dinner dates I met his family and his grandparents. Unfortunately, he is away pretty much all summer. I only see him like once a week until he goes to university of the school two hours away and he said he could come in on weekends for me and that we would have each other like every weekend from now until school ended and then he he already has plans to switch to my university before we even met he had that plan and we ended things because he thought it wasn’t really enough for me but it was good enough for me and I tried to tell him that maybe we will get to get her I wish I could know how he’s doing about this.
i fucked up.
me and demaurya broke up over 6 months ago but i can not let go. i stay up all night thinking of us. i cheated on her twice. i was controlling and jealous. i’ve apologized every day since. i don’t know what to do anymore.
My Experience:
Hi, my name is Chiara. I am 20 years old and from Melbourne, Australia. I broke up with my long distance ex, DH from Perth around a year ago, because he called me fat and wouldn’t apologise-also for a lot of other reasons, which I shall mention here. Instead, He was like, we are done. This year, he pops out of nowhere like it never happened. He acted overly romantic. Then he ignored most of my texts and posted an annoyed emoji. Like hot n cold. So fake. He showed lots of toxic behaviours, including being controlling, gaslighting about money / being sensitive and getting mad over little things. He also would make me pay for most of the flights and didn’t visit me in my own city as much, which wasn’t very fair. Yeah. He paid for his own petrol, but everyone does that. It’s not really a special favour. He said he was going on a 2 year holiday, around the world, which would cost 200 K. Like no one could afford that-not even Prince Harry. This year, he tells me he is living in Australia. So, he lied about his 2 year trip. Probably is with some other girl. Additionally, he sped on the wrong side of the road-showing no or little concern for my safety. Lots of other things… I kept gaslighting myself that I was to blame-not him. I said we could be friends and email each other, which we did for a short time, but then he stopped emailing me. For some reason, I still can’t stop thinking about him. I don’t want to be so depressed.
My boyfriend left me
My boyfriend left me because he’s struggling and feels like he needs to fix his life, and to do that, he wants to be alone. I still love him very much. He left me a week ago, and ever since then, my life has been getting worse and worse. I can’t imagine starting over. I don’t want to meet someone else, and I don’t want to be alone either. I don’t want to accept that my life from now on will be without him. I’m extremely sad and still in denial. Part of me keeps hoping that one day he’ll come back, even though I know that’s probably not going to happen. I don’t know how to move forward. Right now, I don’t believe I’ll be able to get through this.
Will it get better
I broke up with my bf of nearly 6 years 4 days ago. I’ve cried every day since. It was an amicable breakup where neither of us did anything explicitly wrong or bad, it had just come to the point where I was expecting a lot of change and nothing would change really. So it wasn’t a hostile break up and I still love him so much but it wasn’t working. I wake up missing him, I go to bed yearning for his arms around me. When I’m doing things all I can think about is him and how he would react or say. I want to text him telling him about my day but I can’t. It also doesn’t seem quite real, it feels like a bad dream where in a couple of days we’ll be back to how we were, doing our weekly routines, as if nothing happened. A part of me wants that, then I remember why we broke up in the first place and I’m upset again. It’s like I’m in grieving, i’m grieving the love of my life as well as my best friend, all the while he’s still alive and just down the road. I’m scared that in a few years time I’ll look back and have regrets not staying with him. I’m scared that I’ve just lost the greatest and biggest love that I will ever have. I don’t know how I can actually go on like this, surely it gets easier, surely it gets better? Does it? If anyone has or is going through a similar situation to me, please help.
Any advice?
I just finished my freshman year of high school. All I have ever dreamed about is finding love and no boy has ever liked me or even talked to me except for him. I prayed for so long for someone like him and we started darting on September 7, 2025. We talked everyday said good morning and goodnight,face timed every night, and hung out every weekend. He wrote me love letters and got me gifts and remembered my favorite things. I loved him more than anything in the world and he was my everything. We dated for a little over 8 months then things got rocky and we went on a break for a little which crushed me bc I thought we could fix things. And then he stoped being affectionate. No more pet names, or compliments, and he never said I love you or I miss you unless I said it first and he never smiled in the snaps that he sent me, this lasted for about 3 weeks. And I pored my entire heart into him I smiled when he didn’t, I complemented him when he didn’t say thank you, I prayed about him, I gave him space, I tried to comfort and communicate with him. I constantly thought about how I could be better for him and fun little things we could do together. I loved him with everything in me and I always tried to understand where he was coming from. Then on May 28 2026 he said he wanted to break up over text and that he just didn’t love me anymore and didn’t feel the spark anymore. He said his friends have noticed he was different the last 3 weeks and that he couldn’t keep feeling like that. And so he broke up with me. He was my first love and I was so attached. Any advice?
Breakup
My boyfriend and I broke up recently. It wasn’t a mutual conversation or a huge explosive fight. He packed his things and left, and I think that’s part of why it’s been hard for me to process. We had been struggling for a while with communication, emotional distance, and intimacy issues. I felt like we were becoming more disconnected over time, and a lot of things between us started feeling unresolved. There was love there, but also a lot of tension, misunderstanding, and emotional exhaustion on both sides. I think I kept trying to hold onto the relationship even while feeling lonely inside of it. Looking back now, I can see that we were probably both unhappy in different ways, even if neither of us fully knew how to fix it. The breakup feels especially heavy because it wasn’t just losing a person it was losing routines, future plans, emotional familiarity, and the version of life I thought I was building with someone. Still trying to process everything honestly.
Breaking Up When You Live Together
My two year relationship has just ended, tonight, and we live together. He is not physically abusive, but he lives “loudly” and makes me uncomfortable on purpose. He knows that I will make myself silent and small, and isolate myself if I feel uncomfortable, so he makes sure that’s how I feel by stomping around, slamming doors, singing and whistling loudly to himself. Talking out loud, laughing extra loud. Generally making himself known - and making a lot of mess everywhere he goes, so that the communal areas become unusable for me. How do I cope with having to live with him, and amicably separate our things to pack, while I organise moving out? I feel so uncomfortable and anxious being at home and around the behaviour, that I can’t think clearly to make the bigger decisions. It is a volatile environment- even though I don’t fear that he will physically hurt me. Any help would be much appreciated
