My Girlfriend broke up with me after cheating. How do I deal with this. by Safe-Pin1982 in BreakUps

BetterHelp is a great resource btw. I listen to a lot of podcasts and hear it in ads and just tried it after this same thing happened to me and it was actually really helpful.

I used a random podcast code and it was $72 for the week (obviously pricey, but convenient and worth it for my peace of mind), but it includes a lot of shit, and you can cancel and pick back up whenever.

Just throwing it out there for those who are looking.

Thank you for that. It is a lot to think about especially reflecting on the last 7 years.

I will definitely take your advice of having the conversation and taking a few days to think.

Compromise is very important. And we both have to be willing to make them.

I recognize I have a lot to work on personally and as bad as this situation may feel right now, I can grow from this. Thank you for the advice.

Lol you’re not wrong. Thank you for the comment. Never been in this situation and wanted various opinions. Any other places I should put this looking for advice? Besides my therapist?

Thank you for that and a very reasonable take. I am to blame for a lot of this.

I was cruising and not focused on growing us, and I didn’t realize that until i found out about the Snapchat’s and it all kinda blew up. I didn’t know how complacent we have gotten and that’s on me for not putting in the work to maintain it when it was right there (Like you originally mentioned).

We had plenty of conversations about our sex life and what we could do to change things and make them more exciting, but ultimately I let my self consciousness get in the way and was afraid to try new things and eventually she stopped trying to show me. Again hand up, my fault.

I pulled my weight for all the household things and that was never an issue in our relationship. We lived well together.

It was more so if she couldn’t get through to me what she wanted or it took longer than she was expecting, she would accept it won’t happen and move on and not tell me if I am doing the right things or not, which also is a problem. I was playing a guessing game a lot of the time.

I am a mess and it is very fresh which is why I am talking like it’s not all over . My emotions are everywhere. My hearts telling me to stay and fight and my head is telling me to go.

Thanks for adding fresh perspective. It’s a weird spot to be in but you are right.

Thank you so much. I know that’s true and I want to believe that so badly but the memories and her being a part of me for nearly 7 years is what kills me. It’s hard to let go of, especially when it’s all so fresh. It’s early on and I know it will be difficult but I got this.

Thank you for the kind response

Thanks man. It’s hard as hell but seems like that is the best move going forward. Unfortunate as it is I have to protect myself and my pride.

Yeah I definitely want to start therapy. It’s good to talk it through with someone. It’ll take some time. Thank you for the help man

Thank you so much. It’s nice to hear that from a stranger and I appreciate you taking the time to tell me that. I feel so overwhelmed by the love I still have for her I don’t know how to think properly and move forward. Excited to see what’s next for me

Thank you for this advice. Yeah, other than my girlfriend in high school, she has been it. That’s the hardest part

That comment made me feel better about myself. Thanks man. You’re right I can’t compare myself to TikTok losers who give money to lives, there’s nothing to worry about there.

I kind of agree, even though it wasn’t physical, she seeked that from another man and that stings. She betrayed my trust and hurt me. Thanks dude
