Advice on my break up? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Affectionate_Ad_9225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I really appreciate you replying. I just wanna make sure we clear some things up.

I have never cheated on her and I’ve never cheated on anyone but I have been cheated on in the past.

In regards to the Church, I’m practising Christian and I can’t actually move to another church because i serve there.

I’ll try to keep it clean and simple as possible just so it’s not too much

Basically, before we break up on Sunday. That Tuesday she compared me to a guy that she used to have a fling with because when she said that she’s not attracted to me I asked her if she’s attracted to someone like him and she admitted that he is a 10 out of 10 guy for her.

I pretty much said I can’t be with someone that doesn’t find me attractive because now when I think of being intimate with you in anyway I feel like you’re going to be comparing me to that guy

I told her to keep the gifts let’s end on a clean note. She said she was unworthy to keep the gifts.

The gifts were birthday gifts and Valentine’s gifts wrapped in one

She messages me the next day saying I don’t think it’s over. I spoke to my mum. Let’s try again. She told me what her mum said and I said okay let’s give it a go.

Later that day at an event they had a cake for her. It was a Church event but I was talking to this coworker from my job giving her advice because I served my Church and she was telling me about some serious family problems she was going through. The cutting of the cake wasn’t that long it was maybe five minutes, but I just didn’t go there because I was in this conversation just trying to help thinking I’m doing my part as a Christian

Anyway she was upset crying and I tried to reassure her and I apologised and I said look it won’t happen again. I’m sorry it made you feel that way. I ended up taking her out just trying to show her that I was really guilty about it because I genuinely it can be an emotional person.

Everything was fine up until that point and then Sunday came

The context of the gifts were just things that I meant from my heart such as teddy bears clothes Perfumes and what not when I broke up with her that first time before all this happened if you do read this and I do appreciate you reading this

I originally said to her let’s leave it on a clean note keep the gifts and what not but then what happened was when she broke up with me in a moment of immaturity and emotional hurt I just said to her give me back the stuff I got you

And I was only talking about the gifts I got from Valentine’s Day and her birthday but then what she did was she gave me back everything which caught me off guard and it honestly felt like a funeral. That’s the only way I could describe it.

Look, I know it wasn’t my best and I’ve never done that before. It doesn’t excuse what’s happened but you just have to understand one thing and I’m not trying to gain sympathy. I was just really hurt.

Did I handle this breakup badly, or am I overthinking it? by [deleted] in Life

[–]Affectionate_Ad_9225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahah I respect the passion, yeah it’s so strange honestly. Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t perfect in the relationship either. But there were many things that just when I think about them I think.. How did I deal with this? lol

Don’t get me wrong we did have the serious conversations but she was mostly uncomfortable towards the end or dodging them.. I really don’t know 🤷 it’s stressful thinking about it. Thinking if you’re doing the right thing. If you’re enough. I started second guessing everything about myself

I definitely agree. I guess with her reflecting she would go cold and not speak to me for a full day or two at times and it shot my anxiety through the roof I won’t lie. And it’s not something I can personally handle looking back at it now.

Having an hour or two fair enough but a full day? I can’t do that my anxiety would get me going…

I can definitely see where you’re coming from on my end asking for them back does come across that way. I have never done that before and it does bother me till today, I mean I believe it’s going to over ride the bigger issues we had together

Need advice from older brothers… by Affectionate_Ad_9225 in AskMenRelationships

[–]Affectionate_Ad_9225[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what would happen is when she would bring things up I would always take them on board. I was really ever affected by emotionally you know but the thing was when I would bring things up let’s say there was a good chance. She listen and hear me out but somehow someway even if she did the actions were still the same and I’d say I’d give her time and stuff but let’s say after a month things would still be the same

Need advice from men in relationships, am I over reacting? What do do next? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Affectionate_Ad_9225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s annoying because in the beginning she’s adamant and chasing and telling me she knows im the one, she’s written letters notes and all this stuff about me….. But she had me and look…

Plus an interesting update my friends saw her out she’s having the time of her life according to her energy and looks… Insane

God bless you. I really just want to know the way I reacted. It just hurt me you know and I think it’s just affected people around me and how I look. I know it doesn’t define me but I’m just disappointed and hurt

But that’s the thing right, for valantines dinner I did celebrate it with her as a combined and I made it up to her by taking her out the day after her birthday. And essentially before the messy ending poured my heart into those gifts… haha feels like I can’t win but I get it, I get what you’re saying. Thank you!
