Break up after 7 years
… the last 5 years he has been in prison and I have been supporting him (false charges). I’m not sure if he relapsed , if he has been using me for five years, if he is sabotaging himself and our relationship or if he has become something else listening to the people he is in there with… but he suddenly starts saying nasty things to me on my deceased brothers bday, literally a week before he gets out. After literally writing me romantic love letters for 5 years. I clearly can’t stand for it and have to quit him but holy shit it’s painful especially after feeding myself this dream that life will be better and easier when he gets out. Took of the week of work for his release and everything :/ appreciate support
Rejected 😩
I’m sad today and yesterday I attempted to text or call and it backfired.
devastated
Recently just got broken up with after 2.5 years. we had a big fight and that was it for him. he was my best friend and boyfriend all in one so i’m really struggling. every morning i wake up with this horrible dread and realization that it’s not a dream. and i fluctuate between feeling fine and actually wanting to die. idk how to get through this
Heartbroken
The absolute love of my life, father of my children left me and now has a new relationship. My soul hurts, I’m angry, sad, jealous, and every other feeling there is. I don’t know what to do? I want him back but don’t know where to start
Sad
He ended things with me like a month and half ago. It has been extremely hard for me and I just haven’t been able to move past it. He was my best friend, my everything. He made me so happy and ever since the breakup I try to keep up with no contact but every other week I end up breaking it. I can just sense that now he’s getting really frustrated and annoyed. He’s never said it but he’s never been this cold with me. But he’s so unaffected without me. I just feel that my absence doesn’t bother him but his absence KILLS me. Like how can someone be so okay. Idk how to not break no contact and move on.
6 years gone
I just got out a 6 year relationship 6 months ago and I’ve been in no contact for at least 4 months it hurts to know that she’s not apart of my life right now and I miss her and still love her I know I must move on and upgrade my life I just wish I could of provided better for her and maybe our future would of been secure she was my best friend and I love her. It gets easier sometimes but other times I keep replaying the break up in my mind and my body gets shocked all over again. It hurts to think maybe she wasn’t the one, I’ve had many regrets and I just wish for the strength to let this situation go I tried to talk to her again but she doesn’t want to talk and she is already talking to someone only after a month of being broken up with that’s not to demonize her but it hurt and I was no angel either I cheated she never found out but it haunts me as that’s time I should I spent with her
Newly single
I (37f) dated my partner(42m) for 2 years, we had a great relationship. Moved in together 8 months ago. We had discussed marriage is vague terms but no timeline. It’s a must for me but I knew he was reluctant about it from the beginning. I was still hopeful we would get there, love and all that ya know. He finally admitted last week that he never intends to get married. It’s a hard line for me so I packed my things and moved back to my own house a couple days later. I still love him deeply but can’t stay with a man long term who won’t protect me with the security of his last name. We both still want to date but I think it’s a horrible idea. Feeling really lost, not sure what to do now. Definitely not in a mindset to even consider looking for that husband who is so important that I blew my whole relationship up to find.
breakup 💔
so me and my ex got together October 10, 2024. We had a really good relationship we were really committed and then I called him on January 9, 2025. I was sharing my screen and I went to this girl‘s account that had followed me on TikTokand she posted him and then he commented on it with the heart and so I love you and we were actually really committed so it hurt me really bad. to know I lost the boy I love the most and I just keep on wanting to go back to him and I just can’t stay away and I try and keep in contact with him every day to make sure that he’s safe and make sure he’s OK but there’s just no response out of him so I’m without my boy I miss him
Can't stop obsessing
So, my ex and I broke up at the end of January through text. I confronted him about saying he doesn’t want to have kids with me because he doesn’t want multiple baby mothers. I was hurt, so I texted him to express my feelings, which led to him saying he no longer wanted any interaction with me. I don’t know why, but I’ve been going completely insane. I’ve always been anxiously attached to him, and I want to let go—I have to let go. But I keep getting sudden urges to text him, and I can’t stop thinking about him. I even get headaches from it. It got so bad that I sent him an intimate photo and started texting him about how much I missed being close to him. The thing is, I crave genuine intimacy with someone, which is making me feel completely out of control. It’s crazy because I have moments of peace and clarity, but then I go right back to reaching out to my ex, acting irrationally. I just don’t know what to do. I know it’s desperate, but I can’t seem to talk to anyone about it because I’m embarrassed. I don’t like my behavior and really want to stop. I’ve never felt so crazy and sad at the same time. I wonder if anyone else is having a similar experience—being 22 and craving real intimacy while feeling completely lost when being ghosted.
Confused & Hurt
She told me a week ago that she lost interest after talking for several months. Leading up to this moment was nothing but great times… she told me also that I shouldn’t be upset and that our relationship was nothing but positives. Texted her off and on for a couple days after that convo but I just stopped because I was the one initiating everything. Now I find myself waiting and hoping she will reach out to me. Also find myself worrying about her and how she’s doing.
