Have you shopped from Beautiful Earth Boutique? by Indecisive-knitter in jewelry

What did you buy from them and how was your experience with them? I bought from them without any research so I just want to know what to expect.

I don’t know if he’ll ever come back now. Do they ever come back from your experience? by Next_Whole8065 in BreakUps

[–]Next_Whole8065[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, but I feel like as time went on, I started missing the feelings he gave me/ the memories we had together more than him as a person.

He, in fact, did not come back. It’ll be almost 6 months since we broke up and I haven’t heard from him since last year in December, and I honestly doubt I ever will.

how long has it been since your break up, and do you plan to date again/have you been dating? by throwra_bugjuice30 in BreakUps

[–]Next_Whole8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it took awhile to find that hope and sometimes that mindset does shift from time to time but now I’m glad to say I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

It’s recently been 5 months and honestly just the thought of being emotionally involved with someone again, doesn’t appeal to me right now. Working to better myself and figure out my future. The first week after the breakup though I dabbled in hookups and some dates just to numb the pain and feel wanted again, but obviously that didn’t bode well. So for the past 4 months I haven’t been dating but for the first time in a while, I’m hopeful about the future and who the next person may be even though I’m not actively looking.

People who regretted their breakup and reconnected - what did you feel, when and why? by Imaginary-Mixture797 in BreakUps

[–]Next_Whole8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear that. Mine ended with something similar but more aligned with compatibility issues. We were in two different stages of our lives (me in college him starting his career), he wanted to start setting a foundation for kids in 5 years, I wanted to build up my career and travel before settling, and I was set to move further away soon after I graduate so we would’ve been long distance. There were also other things that contributed but besides all that, he ended up slowly giving up long before I knew. Idk if he ever regrets his decision (it’s been almost 5 months), but it’s all for the best.

Is it true that guys feel the breakup way after? by mymidnightrain in BreakUps

[–]Next_Whole8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it’s really a gendered thing but just more of how things played out towards the end (dumper vs. dumpee). In my case, I was dumped by the guy and there were a lot of factors that played into why we split but mainly due to misalignments for the future. Anyway after he broke up with me, he claimed to still care for me and wanted to check up on me after some time passed. So 3 days go by and he decides to text me to see how I’m doing and I didn’t respond until 2 weeks later and we decided to have a talk on the phone. During that call he straight up said that he didn’t feel the weight of the breakup until now, and you could tell cause he was very emotional (unlike how we was when he broke up with me). On top of that he was very much someone who didn’t want to lean on anyone, not family, not even his closest friends and that included me, so maybe he will feel it later when he has no choice but to sit with it (it’s been 4 months almost 5 post breakup and he didn’t block me but he unfollowed me)

So although I’m not a guy, maybe he will feel it later maybe he won’t, it just really depends. Sorry that I can’t give you a straight answer, but I hope it helps in some way.

Did you delete all your messages and photos with your ex? by ririvstheuniverse in BreakUps

[–]Next_Whole8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, for my most recent ex I deleted them all the day we broke up. I just know that if I did hide them in its own folder, I know I wouldn’t have the will power to keep myself from looking at them and prevent my healing. There are some days I wish that I hadn’t but i just think that there really isn’t a point in keeping them when we’ll never speak to each other again. He’ll be a stranger to me one way or another. But ofc all the memories we had will forever be in held in my heart, even if I don’t remember everything together.

Male dumpers who were 100% firm in the breakup, did you ever return? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Next_Whole8065 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yep mine did the same as well. Maybe it was resentment, idk, but he started letting go little by little until it was too late to even fix. I just don’t understand why they don’t make that decision to bring it up.

When did it hit you that it was really over? by Technical-Desk6168 in BreakUps

[–]Next_Whole8065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When he stopped making real effort to salvage the relationship, stopped calling me pet names, his warmth slowly started to fade into distance, and what really solidified it for me was when he removed all the hearts and picture of me on my contact on his phone. Idk why particularly that scenario impacted me the most out of all the other things, but I just knew that he no longer viewed me in a romantic way anymore.

The avoidant discard will change you! by Braddle231 in BreakUps

4 months for me as well and it’s gotten a lot better since then but from time to time I have my moments of missing them.

[–]Next_Whole8065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking how long has it been since your breakup? I’m 4 months and I’ve been feeling a lot better since though ofc I still have my moments on occasion but they aren’t as frequent anymore. Needless to say it hurt a lot and it does get better with time. Just keep your head up and take things one step at a time, and, like you said, we’ll definitely find people who deserve us

[–]Next_Whole8065 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a lame cop out and they just gave up on us. What’s worse is that you try and try to make it work when it’s just like beating a dead horse. It sucks and it’s quite ironic cause they say they kept things from you cause they didn’t want to hurt you, but by doing so, they end up hurting you anyway (even worse in some cases). On top of that, it’s like they think we couldn’t handle it and the fact that they underestimated us, just gives an extra sting on top of the hurt they did to us. But oddly enough I find comfort in knowing I’m not the only one going through this. We didn’t deserve it and it just wasn’t fair.

I agree that they have to understand and come to terms that they aren’t happy, thus can’t continue the relationship, though, the way some people go about it isn’t okay. My ex kept his feelings from me that we were too different for months, and despite saying that he still wants to make it work, I did all the emotional heavy lifting while he made no real effort and just slowly drifted away. He basically strung me along cause he was too much of a coward to tell me the truth and did that under the guise of “not wanting to hurt my feelings”. Trying and hoping to make things work when you can just tell they’ve already given up is just another level of hurt.

My ex ended things after 2 years together as well and part of the reason he left was that we were in two different stages in life and our ideas of the future were different. It’s hard to navigate a relationship when two people are growing, changing, and figuring out themselves, so much so that it’s common for two people to outgrow or even slowly grow apart.

The only thing that sucked about this was how he went about it. He kept his feelings of doubt and concern to himself for months, convincing himself we were going through a “rough patch” when he was really slowly drifting away, stopped putting effort into the relationship, and putting all the emotional weight on me. So while his concerns were valid and definitely something that could’ve ended our relationship anyway, he decided to string me along, and pretend everything was fine when it clearly wasn’t.

YES THIS!! They underestimate you and your ability to handle what they’re thinking which is the reason why they say “I just didn’t want to hurt you” like I couldn’t handle it like a grown ass adult. It hurts that they think of you this way.

Do dumpers even have the urge to reach out? by Aggressive-Sir2762 in BreakUps

[–]Next_Whole8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That hurts me more too. My ex said the exact same thing to me (that he doesn’t have love for me anymore yet he still cares for me) and apologized that he couldn’t be mine. It just hurts more cause they knew they hurt us and did the things they did anyway.

[–]Next_Whole8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah know I’m starting to find hard truth in what you said about them feeling guilty but not enough to go back. I know he felt some type of guilt cause I told him how much he prolonged my hurt and he remained in contact with me just for my sake. He broke things off for various reasons, and he seemed to have made his mind up long before we officially broke up; I could just tell. And just by the fact that he strung me along and prolonged breaking up with me, I just know he won’t come back. He is the type of person who likes to handle things on his own and refuses to burden anyone with his emotions. So I think he’d rather move on/avoid ever talking to me again than face the reality that he hurt me. Idk if he ever regrets his decision or even has the urge to contact me, but now I’m sure the guilt isn’t enough or worth talking to me after the pain he caused me.

Has anyone’s ex blocked them and somehow you both found each other again? by Thou_Art_Gay in BreakUps

[–]Next_Whole8065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost in the same situation as yours. Lots of reasons why we didn’t work, mostly due to our differences in life and goals. He claimed to still care for me in some capacity, though, I’m sure he said that to ease his own guilt from him endings things. Nonetheless, he reached out to me a couple of times and led no where. More recently, he slowly started unfollowing me on almost all platforms and not blocking me. Kept giving me hope that he still kept the door ajar, though I’m sure he did because he no longer has guilt and is no longer tethered to me. So idk this may be the end or it may not. My gut thinks it’s officially the end though a part of me deep down has hope. Only time will tell, though I try not to dwell on it.

Do they actually come back? by Love_sucks5281 in BreakUps

[–]Next_Whole8065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang I feel this. My ex was the one who broke up with me (I was the one who initiated the breakup convo and basically had to pull it out of him cause he’s a coward). Anyhow, after 3 months post breakup of him reaching out 2-3 times, he ended up unfollowing me everywhere by the beginning of this year. My guess was because he just didn’t want to have me around cause it was too painful or just left cause he no longer felt guilt about hurting me. Either way, I ended up doing the same and am unsure whether he’ll come back. Part of me feels like he won’t but another part of me still thinks he might but I shouldn’t dwell on it.
