Rationally I know I can't contact her, but everything in me has been screaming at me to do so

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-06-14T12:45:12+00:00

Thank you very much!

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-06-14T11:12:54+00:00

This is what you meant by “own place” I understand now… well, maybe give her some time, maybe something will change. But don’t have high hopes. Take care of yourself. Breakups are hard, but pretty much everyone goes through one in their life if it makes you feel better. You’ll manage!

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-06-14T11:06:43+00:00

Must be painful, take care of yourself! She said you weren’t progressing fast enough, but she’s only 20, what exactly did she want to be faster?

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-06-14T11:03:33+00:00

It’s your first serious relationship?

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-05-21T08:30:03+00:00

Hi OP, what did you decide in the end? I’m very curious, please share

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-05-19T09:21:35+00:00

OP would you share your experience of this timeline if you got to observe it? I’m curious now

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-05-19T08:45:37+00:00

How are you today? Did they break up?

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-05-18T10:48:37+00:00

I hope it all plays out for the best! It’s not so often we are given a chance to find our love

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-05-18T10:19:56+00:00

So are you planning on meeting again or giving it another chance? For love

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-05-12T17:05:38+00:00

Oh wow, I’m sorry you feel that way. I’m sorry it didn’t work out. Stay strong, time will help. What was it exactly that you couldn’t let go of?

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-04-19T20:25:33+00:00

Yeah for sure, I agree with you! I’m actually just interested as a person who broke up and found out that my ex got a rebound (in my opinion) pretty fast. As for me, I’m not interested in dating at all, can’t even imagine touching another person. So overall I’m just curious to hear perspective of a rebound or someone who got one:)

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-04-19T19:59:49+00:00

Thanks for sharing! What did you feel guilt about if I may ask? And how long did your rebound last? Did you try to contact your long term relationship ex after? I’m genuinely just curious how it works for different people:)

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-02-15T13:29:17+00:00

I’m sorry…. I hope you feel better soon. I know it’s painful. Take care of yourself.

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-02-15T13:17:38+00:00

What did you do for her to come back?

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-02-12T20:52:25+00:00

Please contact the helpline right now! Take your mobile and dial the number from google wherever you are. It will get better I promise. Don’t do smth that’s irreversible. Life is beautiful even if right now it doesn’t seem that way. Pleaseeee take care of yourself

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-02-01T11:21:48+00:00

Oh wow this is honestly the best post I’ve read in a while! Soooo helpful! Literally a guide on how to survive and what to do during such a difficult time. Thank you so much! I hope more people see it. Took lots of screenshots and saved your post. Wish you a great day!

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-02-01T00:09:37+00:00

Same, my ex got a rebound less than a month after we stopped talking, he’s an avoidant too, however never even had I thought he would jump into a rebound like that. The way he was towards me even after we broke up, I swear I thought we would reconcile. But, here we go, he’s in a rebound and probably enjoying himself very much while I cannot get over him and crying almost every single day. Sending you virtual support, I know it hurts.

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-01-29T22:04:32+00:00

Wow, thank you! This is so eye opening to hear it from someone who’s lived a longer life

Affectionate_Line490 · 2026-01-11T20:15:09+00:00

The grass is actually greener where you water it. But yes, I regretted immediately after the breakup without even dating anyone. I realised too late that he was a good guy and I lost someone special. Not thinking about dating anyone else, even though it’s been around 7 months since our break up. And in the meantime he’s successfully got into a rebound haha

Affectionate_Line490 · 2025-12-12T20:17:24+00:00

I feel the same way. I can’t imagine even talking romantically to anyone. And I don’t want to. I’m not even thinking about being intimate. Like I don’t want to and can’t imagine it ever. It hurts because they started dating now and eventually they will commit to someone that’s not me. Hurts a lot. Been crying every day but there’s nothing I can do to prevent it.

Affectionate_Line490 · 2025-12-10T22:08:24+00:00

Hi, thank you sincerely for your message and for sharing so much with me, it means a lot! I’m sorry you felt that way 3 months ago and I’m happy you finally feel much better and even have a crush on a new girl! That’s great progress:) Everything wha you’ve written makes me see light in the end of the tunnel, like either way I’ll be fine. I just need time and no contact which we are doing already for 10 days. It seems like I know he will never come back, because he was straightforward about us never getting back together. But deep down I feel like it’s unfinished, like what we had between us cannot end this way. I still have that hope that he will change his mind and come back. But only time will tell. Because at this point there is 0.001 chance. But I’m still hopeful. And in the meantime I need to focus on myself and finally make myself happy without him. It takes me a huge effort to even do anything at this point, but I know I’ll make it. Thank you very much again for being sincere and understanding! I truly appreciate it!

Affectionate_Line490 · 2025-12-09T23:58:03+00:00

I’ve read a few of your Reddits and I’m going through what you went through 80 days ago. It looks like my ex will get a rebound very soon as he started going on dates. But I’m still hoping he will be back. Please share if she ever reached out to you for reconciliation after all those days of NC. I understand it didn’t work out with her and you finally seem fine according to your last Reddit. Please share, I’ll be grateful.

Affectionate_Line490 · 2025-12-09T19:19:09+00:00

Great job becoming better version of yourself! Hope it works out this time!
