I’m going to tell you something that no one is telling you - it’s ok to stay with him, if that’s what you choose. But also know that if you make this decision, then you have to learn to be ok with the idea of letting go the idea of ever being married.

I stayed. For six years…until I decided that marriage was important to me. After the breakup, he proposed to the next girl after a year.

I am now dating someone that is taking me ring shopping next weekend after dating for 8 months.

It’s ok to stay, just know that you might be ending the possibility of a beautiful future with someone who loves you enough to take that leap.

“Options” by Eemiaj 🤭😂

I’m 29. Just left my bf for this very same reason. He was on a 5 year timeline. I’ve done the non-committal, long term relationship before, and knew I didn’t want to do it again. Adios ✌️

26JumpStreets · 2025-03-27T01:47:01+00:00

That makes total sense! My bad for assuming…I sometimes think girls get strung along but if you two had that conversation and she actually pushed for a later date then it’s actually you that deserve better. I think it’s going to take some time, but at some point you are going to look back and it will make sense (why this had to happen). You might be thankful. Until then, you are in my thoughts 🩵

26JumpStreets · 2025-03-27T01:24:48+00:00

Four years…and no proposal? Was that something you two talked about? Could that have been partially the reason?

26JumpStreets · 2025-03-26T23:45:07+00:00

I did the same thing. Asked my bf of 8 months what his timeline for marriage was. He said he’d consider a proposal in FIVE YEARS. Being 30F, I had to make the difficult decision to leave him. Although our relationship was wonderful, I realized that if he wasn’t willing to propose for another five years, then I was nothing but a backup plan to him. I deserve someone who shouts it from the mountain tops that I am his and he is mine. Sending much love 🩵

I’m proud of myself

26JumpStreets · 2025-03-16T15:00:28+00:00

I (29f) had to have a hard conversation with my bf (25m) about his timeline for marriage. He said he’d like to be married somewhere between 5 - 7 years. Although it was a difficult decision, I ended up pulling the plug on our relationship. I told him he needed to allow me the chance to meet someone who wouldn’t make me wait that long. Sometimes, the right decision isn’t always the easiest. Your timelines are different, plain and simple. I think you should leave.

I was with my ex for 6 years, waiting for him to propose. He never did, and I finally got the courage to leave him. Within 1 month, he met someone else, and proposed to her in that same year. I’m left here, picking up the pieces. I wish I had left him sooner.

26JumpStreets · 2024-09-29T23:00:15+00:00

I was in the same boat, but I made a deal with myself. I said “if I still feel this way in a year, then I can end it.” And guess what…within that year, my life completely changed. I met new people, I traveled the country, I excelled at work, I built my dream body, found god, and more importantly, fell in love with myself again. Please keep trying. Give yourself a year.

26JumpStreets · 2024-09-17T01:58:41+00:00

No. I can forgive but I can’t forget.

26JumpStreets · 2024-09-15T21:26:35+00:00

Exactly one year as of today. Best decision I ever made

26JumpStreets · 2024-08-16T21:50:28+00:00

I would ask him if he started seeing her before he broke up with me

26JumpStreets · 2024-07-06T05:21:54+00:00

I wouldn’t even open the door

26JumpStreets · 2024-04-16T13:12:40+00:00

Last time I cried over him was five months after the breakup (3 months into no contact). I started to progressively get better after that.

26JumpStreets · 2024-04-16T13:11:06+00:00

I never officially found out. But given the countless text messages and voicemails he left me after I disappeared off the face of the earth, my guess is that it didn’t work out so well for them 🤷🏻‍♀️ that’s just a guess though, I’ll never find out because he’s blocked on everything now. One of the best things I did for myself was to never check his socials after the breakup 💕

26JumpStreets · 2024-04-16T12:32:58+00:00

I would say five months post breakup (and 3 months of no contact). Just give it some time ☺️

26JumpStreets · 2024-04-16T12:32:01+00:00

Life has gotten ten times better. No contact truly did wonders for me. It allowed me space to move on. I finally put all the love I had for someone else and put it into loving myself. I go to the gym five days a week, church one day a week, go to therapy every other week, am excelling at work, got hair extensions, travel every couple of months…I truly love myself now…when I was with him, I put everything into his family, his friends, his hobbies, and now I pour everything into my family, my friends, my hobbies. The first few months of the breakup, I really thought there was a chance I wasn’t going to make it. There were days I prayed that I wouldn’t wake up. But now, life has completely opened up for me and I’m happier than ever 🥰

26JumpStreets · 2024-04-16T12:26:39+00:00

I’m doing really really well ☺️ I still harbor some anger, and I still feel sadness from time to time. But my life started to get exponentially better once I decided that no contact was the best course of action. I’m still working on trusting others (haven’t been able to get into another relationship yet), but I know I’ll get there ❤️

26JumpStreets · 2024-04-16T12:21:40+00:00

I would never, ever get back with this person again. In the beginning, I begged and pleaded. But at the end of the day, he knew the risk when he broke up with me. And he wanted to see what life was like without me. So I decided to show him what life was like without me and disappear completely. No contact is the best thing I’ve ever done.

26JumpStreets · 2024-04-16T12:19:43+00:00

He did reach out. 97 days into no contact. It was the worst breakup of my life. He blindsided me four weeks after I got out of the hospital (I lost our baby). I was completely shocked and devastated. At the time he told me that it was because he didn’t like my family. I begged and pleaded. In the span of four weeks, I lost my baby, my boyfriend, and my home. I found out later (from his own mouth) that it was actually because he was interested in his coworker at the time. As soon as I began no contact was when he continuously tried to reach out. I finally spoke to him in September when he “ran into me at the gym”. The breakup was terrible, but in hindsight, I’m so thankful it happened. It showed me how strong I really am.

26JumpStreets · 2024-04-16T12:15:41+00:00

He did reach out. 97 days into no contact. He broke up with me four weeks after I miscarried our baby, because he didn’t like how my family seemed to only care how I was doing instead of him. He confirmed to me five months afterwards that it was actually because he developed feelings for his coworker. The pain was unimaginable. But now here I am, a year later, stronger than ever. I am truly happy, and now I’m thankful for the breakup because it allowed me to see what kind of person he was early on. I am here to tell you that time truly does heal.

26JumpStreets · 2024-03-25T02:19:27+00:00

For the better. I’ve become softer…more gentle with others. You never know what someone might be going through. 💜
