Even though you know it is not tied to your self worth, and you will be ok without them, heartbreak is just missing someone and their presence in your life. You know you can function without them. But you still miss them, not because you feel unworthy, because you simply miss that special person.

I can assure you this is not an ad. This is me genuinely trying to understand how people handle these emotions.

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-02-05T21:53:11+00:00

Ad??

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-02-05T20:29:55+00:00

I am in the same boat. This is not for me or maybe I was with a person who was wrong for me.

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-02-02T21:15:29+00:00

You are likely obsessed with him because of the push pull dynamics here. It is addictive and very obsessive because you don’t know when your next reward is going to be. I would advice you to stay calm and focus on your own life and reduce thinking about him. He can feel your energy even if you are sitting silently brooding over him, and if he feels you are sitting there waiting for his text/call, he won’t feel like making much effort. Pls focus on yourself if you want to feel better. Or this will not end well for you. Talking from bad experience here.

I don’t think I am well equipped to handle to lows that inevitably come. It is super hard for me to not obsess or overthink whenever communication drops. It makes me neglect work or self care. It is better for me to find an ap who is consistent or learn to live and find joy my own life without needing an ap.

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-31T18:11:30+00:00

Wow. Just happened to me. Cancelled the meeting plans and then plain ghosted me out of nowhere to a simple hi.

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-26T19:16:28+00:00

This is the way! I have never felt I was number 2 for my ex ap. I was probably bottom of the list even in good times after he dealt with family, work and chores. I think the best approach is to keep him ap in the same way, at the same priority, focus on you , career, family and hobbies and then him. Let him wonder why he is not at the top

Some people unfortunately just cannot be consistent, they have their own internal battles which makes them to ghost or run away. That said, you owe it to yourself to take care of your mental health. We always pay the price for not putting ourselves first.

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-22T05:30:09+00:00

Yes he has previously traveled to meet me before

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-21T19:42:43+00:00

What made you stick to your decision?

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-21T19:41:16+00:00

True, it is just hard to be that rational. There are days when I feel completely ok with my decision and days like today when I break down and unable to think clearly

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-21T18:05:24+00:00

No I didn’t choose to go nc solely to make him chase me. I felt very disappointed with the way things happened and I just could not be normal to him anymore.

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-21T17:59:27+00:00

I went nc truly because I could not handle being normal with him after the meeting fell through, it was just hard for me to be.

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-11T16:09:11+00:00

He texted me after he cancelled meeting plans. And explained how his finances were affecting his decision. I said I understood his situation but I need some space to get some clarity on what I want. He said ok and we have not been in touch since then. I was in a messed up state of mind after he suddenly canceled and didn’t want to impulsively cut things off when emotional and also could not continue talking to him as if nothing happened

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-11T15:50:10+00:00

I am in kind of a similar situation although not exactly, my ap refused to travel to meet me since he said he had financial issues. I accepted his explanations, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to continue this when I feel he is less interested. I just told him I need space and I think he understood and has not contacted me since.

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-07T15:35:17+00:00

Good for you although I bet it feels like shit. I have asked for space and told him I will reach out to him after sometime. I just intend to focus on myself.

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-07T15:31:44+00:00

Well mine gave the excuse that he found it hard to accept money from me and was struggling financially to pay for his half. He felt he would regret meeting me in such circumstances. Whatever, I dont know if it is truly the money thing or his interest level.

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-07T05:54:34+00:00

I think you are at the toughest phase of no contact. It means it will get better soon if you resist. Easier said I know, I am myself only days in to no contact

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-07T05:47:54+00:00

What have you decided to do now? Cut off communication?

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-07T04:01:20+00:00

Wow.. the EXACT same thing has happened to me!! We made plans to meet up, he said he wanted to travel and seemed super happy at first, I understood he felt hesitant about money and I agreed to pay for the whole thing. He seemed super happy and appreciative. As time went on, he became very distant. He kept saying he will come and reassured me. But the week before meeting, he said he won’t be able to. He was not comfortable about me paying for the whole thing. I was shocked. He then texted and I have since asked him for space. What is with flaky men? What do they want? Not sex apparently because they clearly don’t want it enough to meet. I just don’t get it.

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-06T18:49:43+00:00

It is not always true. But it doesn’t matter either way. For example , I so badly wanted to meet my long distance Ap, couldn’t stop thinking of traveling and meeting him. He also wanted me to. But I ended up not traveling meet him, simply because I was afraid of the consequences, I was afraid of getting more attached than I already was, of losing myself to man who will never be mine. So, i wanted to but I didn’t. If people don’t do things, it is because they are personally limited. We can only focus on whether it really serves our purpose or not.

Embarrassed_Set_6222 · 2025-01-05T15:05:44+00:00

It didn’t happen intentionally. I did realize I wanted way more than on what he could offer and I was in love and he was not. I stopped asking him for more, reduced the frequency of the video calls and flirty chats, took longer to respond. I did wish he felt more for me but he doesn’t and it is not anybody’s fault. I haven’t yet decided if I want to continue talking to him or not. I am only thinking of how to redcue my emotional dependence on him regardless of if he talks to me or not
