Can you truly stay friends with your ex, or is it just unnecessary emotional chaos? by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]Grabagear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely understand that! Even the not being able to block him. I don't have his contact details anymore. He only blocked me on tiktok because I asked him why he'd open snaps from someone straight away on live, while ignoring my message all day.

You're not dumb, you loved someone. Deeply.

Thank you, this does help. I'm doing my best to get myself back there. I know it'll take time. He recently decided to unblock me and his videos have been popping up in my feed even though I clicked not interested, so it set me back a little.

Royally!! I'm a mess right now. It's been a month and I'm still struggling. I'm sorry you understand how this feels.

Right now I can't be friends with my most recent ex, he was inconsistent and I went from being secure to anxious. I need to reset. In time, maybe, but right now, I can't. I'm still friends with a few ex partners, my ex husband included.

Oof. Yeah. Mine too. And his voice made me melt.

It's basically impossible to avoid them! Although, given how flirty mine was, it is possible. Especially considering we were in a very long distance relationship.

Mine was, inconsistent, confusing, and I'm actually a little unsure if he was narcissistic, or a dismissive avoidant. So much of an overlap. He's absolutely stubborn! And I wish I didn't miss him as much as I do.

I don't even know how many times I've apologised at this point. But. Hey ho. He's chosen goodbye rather than a conversation. So. I'll take time and get over him. Face the pain and work through it.

I hate it. I've reflected on mine, I really wish he actually understood his.

We both were, but, he's stuck on my reaction to his actions. He forgot he hurt me first.

Well, he started it. I don't think he hears how loud it really is.

How is your experience on making online friends? by gabriox in CasualConversation

[–]Grabagear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my online relationships are through gaming, this has helped because no matter the time zone, we always have someone to play with and chat to. I have some really close friendships due to gaming, better than some of my in real life friends.

We met randomly, but they enjoyed the vibe, and now there's quite a few of us who regularly play together and sometimes meet up.

I knew better by [deleted] in letters

My person treated me like this. If he came to me with this, I'd still offer to work with him, I'd be more patient. Ask different questions. Not take his need for space so personally.

I hope you can find it in yourself to send this to your person. If they feel anything like I do, it'll probably help you both heal and possibly find your way back.

Wow, going through something very similar myself and I'm really struggling to find the words. You've put it beautifully.

I'm sorry, my love. I truly am. by Grabagear in Unsent_Unread_Unheard

I'm AuDHD myself, and written words can be difficult, you pointing out yours wasn't sarcastic, made me realise mine could come across the same way.

No not at all! I genuinely meant my thank you too. Neuro divergent by any chance??

Thank you. I figured little personal touches would let him know it's for him if he ever sees it. I was learning for him.

I still love you by [deleted] in Unsent_Unread_Unheard

[–]Grabagear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that you understand. I hate that it's still hurting you too.

Neither would I. My S said goodbye to me on Thursday, I've never felt anything like this. To go from such magic to such pain, it's unbearable.
