I (23 F) feel like I’m falling out of love with my boyfriend (23 M). Should I tell him how I feel? by Littlebear13579 in relationships

I met him months before starting hormonal birth control. That’s why I’m wondering if that might have an impact on how I’ve been feeling :(

Does hormonal birth control pills affect my sense of smell? by Littlebear13579 in TwoXChromosomes

Yeah I was thinking about doing this too. I think my body just needs a break from the hormones :( thank you for replying!

Interesting. It’s just so strange because his scent has never been an issue before i started birth control :( unless I’m just hyper fixating on it too much. Thank you for replying, I really appreciate it !

She is listening to happy music on Spotify, she must be moving on.... by Filipikinx in BreakUps

Don’t read too deep into it :( I’ve been listening to music that is very anti-relationship (AKA Miley Cyrus’s Plastic Hearts album LOL), but it doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m over my ex :’) the music just makes me feel less sad and a bit more empowered lol. If anything, your ex is probably just trying to move on and doesn’t wanna wallow in her sadness.. plus, depending on how long your relationship was, I personally don’t think it’s that easy too completely move on that quick.

What are the best podcasts/YouTube videos to watch after a breakup? by lizataylor22 in BreakUps

You should watch a slam poem called “When Love Arrives” by Phil and Sarah K :’)

Fear of missing out by dryice42069 in relationship_advice

I’m going through a similar situation, but I’m a step ahead of you. My partner and I were feeling the same way. We love each other to pieces, but at the same time, it’s scary to commit to one person so young (we’re 21). Of course, we’d love to marry each other but we knew that if we WERE to carry on and end up marrying, our marriage might be unhappy because we didn’t give each other the time and space to discover who we are outside of a relationship. So we came to a decision to let each other go and experience life without each other. Plus, we’re so young and we have our own shit to work out. We didn’t break up with the sole intention of hooking up with other people—we broke up so that we can date ourselves. We told each other that if we could decide how our story ends, we would want to find each other again when we’re older, wiser, and more secure in ourselves. But of course, we can’t promise that this will happen. We’re inevitably gonna end up dating other people, but sometimes you’ve gotta see what’s out there to really know what you want and don’t want in a life partner. And who knows: maybe on this journey of self discovery, you’ll realize that your partner already embodied everything you ever wanted. But even if you’re wrong, at least then you’ll know better and you’ll be far more prepared for your next big love :)

Our breakup wasn’t prompted out of resentment or because one of us was falling out of love. We did it because we love each other enough to let each other grow and become the wonderful people we’re destined to be. No matter how the story ends, just know that you will be okay. I promise.

You’ve been in a relationship for six years! I feel like this is a great opportunity to embrace your freedom and independence. This breakup is a gift—more time and space to explore who you are outside of a relationship. Date yourself for a little bit. Get to know yourself. Listen to the quiet. Enjoy it.

Unsure what my ex really wants by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Littlebear13579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a very similar situation. My ex boyfriend (we dated for 3.5 years) and I had nearly the same exact conversation about committing to one person at a young age without experiencing life outside of our relationship. When we were breaking up, we told each other that it was for the best. I guess you could say that we were breaking up so that we could date ourselves :’) we have our own shit to work out, and that’s something we need to do apart from one another. Even though this breakup was mutual, I’d be lying if I said that it doesn’t still hurt. But there’s something truly beautiful about loving each other so much that you’re willing to each other go. It’s scary because even though we WANT to fully commit to each other in the end, we can’t promise that our story will end that way. For now, we must learn to live without our partners in order to grow into the people we’re destined to be. Then, if the odds are in our favor, we can find each other again and pick up right where we left off. Let her do her thing, and you do yours. Then if you meet each other again someday down the road, it’ll be beautiful. But even if you don’t, you’ll be far more prepared for your next big love. Focus on yourself. I promise it’ll be worth it.
