Vent

The weight of the world

My boyfriend decided he wanted to take a break after our one year anniversary! He became so distant and was very vague on why we were taking a break, he told me that he was needing to take time to gather his thoughts but kept telling me that when he come back from his break he wants to retry and wants to fall in love twice as hard but wants me to keep working on myself, halfway through the break he posted a 5-minute rant hinting towards me on Snapchat and it shot be down so many pegs but I still held out hope! But after two weeks he just called me last night and told me he doesn't wanna restart again and he needs time alone and to be by himself, let alone he's the one that proposed promise rings and asked me if I wanted to move in with him when he goes to graduate school and I told him yes I would, but comes to find out, all that made him stressed and he's making it feel like it was my fault! He ended it on, right person wrong time, he told me he doesn't wanna block each other and he still wants to remain really good friends, he still wants to hangout, text all the time and he doesn't want to get rid of any of my stuff and wants to keep all my love quotes up and he told me in the future he wants to start again because he wants to see us both grow old together! Fyi-(I don't know if this makes a difference but we are a gay couple) Any advice? Would greatly be appreciated because it feels like my emotions are a twister and I can't keep them straight!

Only you get to decide if you want to stay friends after that or not block each other. Blocking does wonders for the soul 😂 I'm sorry this sounds really hard. I'd take time to think about if you want to keep someone around who did this to you.

Wow that sounds like a mindfuck, I’m sorry you’re going through this. I don’t know if I have any advice apart from going no contact for a while and not trying to rush into being friends. It could stunt your healing ❤️‍🩹

Thank you, I'm gonna try to go the no-contact route but its all a mindfuck at the moment, its like I love him so much I can't say no to everything he's presenting to me, in the past I was usually able just cut all my emotional ties and work through it after blocking them, but with him we planned our next 60years together and then bam he brought me this and it's so hard to comprehend everything because it feels like we will get back together but then again he said he doesn't see it until like 3 years in the future

Yeah I can definitely see how that would be torture. I did a similar thing with one of my exes, we talked about our future / planned it out, etc. and once we broke up it took me a long time to mourn that future we had planned. But then I realized I didn’t actually lose that future bc I never had it. I can still do all the things I wanted to in the future, just now with someone who WANTS to be with me

That is really good advice and its really comforting because with me spiraling I feel like I've lost that future, but you are right, I still have that future but I now have the opportunity to start that future fresh but with an open spot! How long did it take you to mourn that future?! If you don't mind me asking

Haha open spot is a great way to put it! Hmmm that’s a tough one bc I didn’t try to date or improve myself at all, I was just kind of stuck wallowing and feeling bad for myself and it lasted ~2 years because of that. But I’m sure you’ll heal much faster, you’re already getting it!
