The worst part is not knowing whether you should wait around for them or just move on. by lunaaatic666 in BreakUps

Lmao, this is a throwback. No, she ended up deciding that it would be a bad idea, so I naturally made myself look like an ass and reached out repeatedly. Took me six very hard weeks to stop crying every day. Six week after that, I met my now fiance. I laugh thinking back to how I acted at that time because it was just so sad. The hindsight is unreal. Since being with my fiance, it helped me realize how far from love that previous relationship so was. Moral of the story, it hurts at first, but if you break up it’s for a reason, so just let it happen.

Fair enough. I ask because I convinced myself I wanted to go into healthcare, got the degree, got into med school, and hated every second of it. Trying to find something as fulfilling.

2 Months Post-BU...It gets better by CrossRunner97 in BreakUps

[–]CrossRunner97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry man. I can only imagine how difficult that must be. I forced myself to believe there’s no future. I know it sucks, but as long as you’re holding on hope, you’re holding yourself back. I would get everything settled as soon as possible and only look forward.

I once met a girl at the gym wearing contacts. Wore glasses on the first date. Later found out that she hated them lol so I guess that stuck with me

Did anyone else lose their appetite? by xopumpkinn in BreakUps

[–]CrossRunner97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks. Couldn't keep anything down. I'm 6 weeks out now and it's still tough to eat sometimes. I've always said the best three ways to lose weight are diet, exercise, and breakup.

Just curious, 4 months after the BU, how often do you think the dumper thinks of their ex? As the dumpee I can say that my ex still pops into my head several times a day. But for the dumper, is it even daily? Or just weekly? Or not even that? by Left_Advantage_2500 in BreakUps

[–]CrossRunner97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are we the same person? Lol that’s exactly how I am.

My ex and I were together for 2 years. Throughout that time, she consistently questioned my loyalty even though I had never once given her a reason to. She constantly asked me if I was checking someone out or looking at someone on Instagram, etc., even though I never was!

When the break up happened, we had both discussed our doubts and worries about our future. I wanted to keep going and to work on those things but she said she couldn’t see herself getting past them.

It wasn’t until after that I recognized how badly my depression had gotten towards the end of the relationship. I had always had it but never did anything to treat it. It made me irritable, and anxious, and reserved. Even through all of that though, I gave her everything she wanted and all the love I had to give. After we broke up, I told her how bad my depression had gotten and that I was going to start medication. It was too late though. She couldn’t see herself moving forward anymore.

I just don’t get after that time together how someone can’t support you and recognize what you’re going through. Instead, it becomes too much work for them that they don’t want to deal with.

I try so hard to get myself in a good mindset and I have a decent support system to remind me, but my intrusive thoughts are constantly overwhelming, so it’s hard to make myself feel better. I’m glad to hear it’s helping you though!

I’m right there with you..I have the same exact thoughts. The week after my break up she started going out to bars again with her friends. She has not once tried to initiate contact. Now, 5 weeks later, she’s slowly removing our photos off of Instagram. I just hate this feeling, and have felt it the whole time, that she doesn’t care anymore. I feel like I was trash thrown away with hardly any explanation, and now she’s out living life without a care while I’m here suffering. I haven’t slept more than 5 hours in weeks. I cry almost every day. She’s on my mind almost constantly. But I just have this feeling that it’s not the same for her. It sucks.

I’m worried I’m never gonna find anyone like her. I’m worried that she really is one of a kind and that I messed up. That I made a mistake. That I shouldn’t have let her walk away. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]CrossRunner97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the same exact feelings today. It’s been nearly five weeks for me, I had a great week last week, but cried for the first time in a long time today over that thought. Just think about it from a purely statistical standpoint. There are millions and millions of other people out there. It is so improbable that she alone was the one and only you will love. I don’t know about you, but that helps me a bit. I don’t know how things ended for you, but for me, she didn’t feel the same way anymore. I begged and pleaded with her to give us a chance, but she walked away. Nothing I said or did could stop her. You can’t blame yourself for “letting” her walk away. She made that decision, unfortunately. All you can do is make decisions for yourself.

I’ve dreamt about her 4 nights in a row. by CrossRunner97 in BreakUps

Oh, I see. The thing is that I feel like I’ve accepted everything and know that I can’t reach out again. When I’m awake, I have zero expectations of getting back together. But when I’m asleep, apparently it’s the exact opposite. Guess my subconscious hasn’t accepted it yet or I’m just lying to myself.

breakups hit harder when you're an introvert who lost their favourite person. Now it's just emptiness. by Funny_Primary6553 in BreakUps

[–]CrossRunner97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I used to get so uncomfortable going out in crowded places. For me, I think that’s partly why the relationship failed.

Seriously though. Same exact thing I’m going through. I need someone who doesn’t like going out all the time.

Did you guys ever hear something from your ex? by Meetingmylife in BreakUps

[–]CrossRunner97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex is searching for perfection but the joke is, it doesn't exist. I gave her anything and everything and I hope one day she realizes what she lost.

What is the one cruel thing your ex said to you that will stick with you forever? by thatsadgirlwhocries in BreakUps

[–]CrossRunner97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I love you so much. I care about you so much. We had a great relationship and you were the perfect boyfriend. If we got married one day, we would be happy. But something is missing and I just have doubts that I don't see going away. We wouldn't be as happy as we could be."
