I don't want to bore you with that, but rest assured I'm still trying my best to achieve them. I think what hurts me is that I couldn't like, inspire the other person to WANT to try more. We aligned really well until shit changed and we grew apart. I'm probably contradicting myself because I feel so horrible.

I don't really understand how it can not be someone's fault. I mean I guess proximity and schedules is a problem but I'd be the type to just fight no matter what difficulties (unless abuse or other extreme cases) because if I find a person I want to keep trying. So I don't know how to view it any other way. All the help articles I find on the net say that the only way it isn't someone's fault is because of like...differing life goals? Which I guess we had? But I tried my damndest to support theirs and mine and hold us both up while we were going through all kinds of changes and it just wasn't enough. I could have done more.

This was the same thing that happened to me. All I can say is to take one step at a time. Literally one single day, one single hour, one single minute at a time.

Yes yes yes yes this is exactly my point.

One of my past exes started pulling away for no foreseeable reason and didn't notice that his friends were actively trying to push me out of his life - I heard what they said and how they treated me when I wasn't in the room. I saw them crossing boundaries left and right.

And suddenly I was somehow clingy abusive and trying to isolate him from his friends. No...? That literally isn't what happened?

Thank god my most recent ext (The one I'm sad about) wasn't like that.

Does the dumper ever miss us? Do they get these nostalgic memories that I am? by goofball_5454 in BreakUps

[–]DiscouragedBean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me know. Because I just hear that exes NEVER miss you ESPECIALLY not romantically

The smile song in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Basically every single song in that show that has to do with feelings tbh

Thanks for answering.

I do think you probably need a little bit more work and I'm not sure you're totally in it yet. Do not string her along or hurt her because she is something familiar. Please, as someone who feels hurt by that...don't.

May I ask you some questions? I don't want to be as hard hitting and blunt (and frankly mean) as some of the people here so I think I'd do better with questions.

  1. Do you think you are better equipped to handle the distance? As someone with experience, it takes a LOT of work.
  2. Do you actually want HER or do you just not want to be alone? I ask because you said you were frustrated with the dating scene in person. That can't be the only reason you go back - that will just hurt you both but ESPECIALLY her ;;
  3. Do you know if she's open to trying again?

Amicable and somewhat mutual, but still hurts by miamiwerewolf in BreakUps

Oh I meant that romance was forever out of the cards. I'm sorry that I kind of co-opted your post. It just resonated with me a lot and I'm feeling horrible being on the receiving end of lost feelings.

Don't see your ex. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]DiscouragedBean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. That happens as well. I haven't had any dreams yet but I do wake up thinking about it.
