My husband has been cheating
I found out that my husband has been cheating on me with the girl in his office. My heart is broken. We’ve been married for almost 10 years and we have an adorable daughter. I still can’t believe he did this to me. I feel like I’m not good enough. I want a revenge. I want to have an affair too so he may feel the depth of my pain. How can I live my life like this?
Overwhelming feeling of sadness
I broke up with my gf of 5years due to lack of love being reciprocated and attentiveness was not shown. Lack of communication and past traumas holding us back. The pain and distress and sadness I feel has got me in a chokehold. I’m not like seeing a way out of this feeling. Ik people say it takes time and energy Will shift but I’m missing her like crazy and I just want to text her and say I’m sorry and not get back together but just know how she is and if she’s eating and feeling and sleeping. Ughhhhhhhhhh
What do i do
me and my ex boyfriend were together for 2 years, we still talk but he’s blunt he said he lost feelings for me and doesn’t love me anymore as he kept saying he didn’t want me in his life anymore, didn’t want a relationship right now this and that and some days he would be confusing we would go to sleep together be nice and loving and caring but yesterday I finally said “ you lost me” i pushed him away and sometimes think it’s my fault he left and started losing feelings and being blunt to me but the past week i’ve been crying i woke up started crying thinking about him and needing him , i called him asking if we can sleep together i was crying and told him i miss him then we went sleep 2 days ago but as i said yesterday i text him saying you’ve lost me as i don’t know how to get him back or what else to do. I’ve tried to leave him alone because I’ve tried to do no contact but it’s so hard for me because i love him so much and miss him but this time i’m committed to try it to see if anything will change as he knows i always come back to him either text or call him maybe i need to leave for good to make him realise he’s lost me?? but he’s still got my name as pumpkin ♥️♥️ in his phone and all my pictures
He never missed me
We broke up 4 months ago. The whole month before that he had been distancing himself, taking too long to answer. I had been trying to be understanding and give him space. He stopped saying about love or even responding when I said and stopped using heart emoji, he basically became unemotional. I had been trying to talk or support him but eventually he dumped me over text late at night when I asked if my efforts are reciprocated. he offered to be friends and meet if I need his support but I said that I want to be no contact and we will not be friends but we still should meet to talk like adults and have a closure. he said ok no problem let’s meet and never texted me again. we never met and never spoke ever since. he deleted my photo from his insta page and after 2 months one girl texted me saying that she met him at the dating app. basically he move on really fast and never texted me again. he just ives his life like our 1,5 year relationship meant nothing. what do you think? will he ever regret or miss me?
Just broke up 💔
We were together for almost 3 years and 2 months ago he broke up with me, telling me he doesn’t she me in his future anymore. We decided to try it one more time. To make efforts together, to communicate more often, to be more open to each other but the time pass by during the 2 months, nothing change. He was telling me that he still loves me and that he was happy in the relationship but his actions don’t tell it all. Yesterdag i decided to end it, it was the most painful decision that i made and i am hoping i made the right one. It’s so difficult because he was felling the same thing but waited until i am the one to end this time. Did i made the right decision or should i have try more harder?

Depression
My ex cheated on me. And we have a daughter together. He didn’t talk to me for 11 days on the 12 day he said “respectfully I don’t want to see u anymore or have any sort of interactions with you for awhile” so through my mom I would like to see my daughter so do not deny my daughter from me, we have to discuss how we going to move forward with our daughter because I still plan on supporting my daughter financially and continuing my relationship with her” It breaks me because he didn’t say sorry for cheating or tried to make this family work. I feel like I betrayed my daughter out of a family.
Anger
I dated someone for 7 months. It started off good. I thought we had a connection. I asked where we were going and he reassured me we were going somewhere. He told me to be patient so I was. Twice he got stressed and pulled away. Each time I was confused. We seemed to stay connected the first but this time seems different. He told me he was stressed, having family issues, job issues but there appears to be something he doesn’t want me to know. This time he has It pulled away and it appears he intends to stay away. He got a loan from me and paid most of it back so I thought just maybe I had become someone he cared for and trusted. I don’t understand how someone can tell you they adore you and you matter to them one minute then treat you like you don’t exist the next. I’m angry. I hadn’t dated anyone in seven years and I thought I had something wonderful. Now I know I don’t. I reached out on Friday to say, I know you have been through a lot. I’ve been patient. If you are still going through them take all the time you need. If you have moved on I wish you well. If you want to talk I look forward to talking. Have a good day! His response, I’ve called a few times but I have no record of those calls.
32 years old and dated for the first time
I dated a woman for 3 months and my feelings for her became stronger over time and I ended up being incredibly emotionally attached. She had told me in the beginning that she had a rough past that affected her feelings of romance and wasn’t sure if she would ever be able for a relationship without taking therapy. But since this was the first time that I felt a woman enjoyed my company I thought I could handle waiting for her without getting too emotionally involved. She just started a new job and had a new apartment with longtime friends that have supported her since her rough past and I felt bad asking for her time. I had to break it off with her because she wasn’t on the same emotional level that I was and I didn’t want my feelings to affect the success of the new things in her life. But I wish we could have worked out because when we were together I had never felt that kind of happiness before.
Still in contact
Although I was the one that hurt her she’s still staying in contact with me. Not sure if I should see that as a sign or if she’s just being nice to me. It’s been 3 months after the break up and I’m trying to win her back. I’m just afraid that I will hurt myself believing there’s still a chance. She said she needs time before giving me another chance.
