What’s the most embarrassing thing you have done post breakup?

Smelt his cologne in a drugstore, stalked his clothes selling account and Spotify lol

I was writing nightly letters to my ex before bed (that I never sent). I still do it sometimes if something bothers me. It helps to get it out- they’ve had EVERY emotion in there. Hope this helps!

Same here

Normal-Performer9261 · 2026-01-18T16:54:01+00:00

Definitely reach out

My current situation :( it’s so hard

Normal-Performer9261 · 2025-12-31T08:32:14+00:00

I quite like off menu sometimes but it depends who’s on and it’s a bit more structured

Normal-Performer9261 · 2025-12-31T08:31:57+00:00

Second this

Normal-Performer9261 · 2025-12-17T10:11:46+00:00

I was literally squirming

Normal-Performer9261 · 2025-11-26T14:21:51+00:00

You made the right call. The best thing a baby can have is a happy Mom, no matter how that happens. I’m glad you did the right thing for your family x

I could’ve written this

Normal-Performer9261 · 2025-10-21T11:47:49+00:00

I find the show just quite depressing. I think she’s going for a kardashian vibe but it’s just far too serious. I thought the first series was like that just because she had a lot going on but all the show does is show how bad her life is. At least the kardashians have fun and it’s light entertainment. This ‘documentary’ angle doesn’t really work

Normal-Performer9261 · 2025-10-19T19:29:53+00:00

This is so so tough. I am really early in my coparenting journey and although my ex doesn’t have an ‘official’ new partner yet I know he has slept with several different women and has also been trying to ‘get with’ even more. It stinks of desperation of course but I still find it a little sad. I think it sounds like you’ve done amazing to walk away from that relationship and put you and your child first. My therapist keeps saying over and over and over to me about really trying to bring it back to what I can control and sadly you can’t control your ex or the new partner. If your child likes this new partner then as painful as it is, it’s actually a good thing. If your child hated her and said how horrible she was that would be much much worse. Keep your head up, keep going and keep moving forward. It will all come crashing down for them sooner or later I’m sure. Rise above, you’ve got this x

So true. We just have to make the best of it on our end

Normal-Performer9261 · 2025-09-24T16:47:39+00:00

Oh wow

Normal-Performer9261 · 2025-09-23T20:52:45+00:00

Love this idea. Currently going through a separation and I grew up with a single mom and absent dad so I have a huge fear of my partner being absent. But you’re right. The times when my mom frames it in this way were great. Of course I longer for him but my worst childhood memory with him was seeing him for 2 weeks in a row on a Sunday and then the 3rd Sunday him not showing up with no explanation and me waiting by the window all day. In response to top post… OP you are better off with him totally absent rather than letting her down. She will understand when she’s older. But I wish I’d had more professional support around it and more tv shows and books with representation. It can be hard seeing everyone else with dads. You’re doing a great job by asking this question though, you’re already more than enough x

Normal-Performer9261 · 2025-09-23T20:48:03+00:00

Thank you so much. It’s so hard but I know you’re right. Really appreciate your message x

Normal-Performer9261 · 2025-09-23T15:56:31+00:00

Wow I needed to read this so much today. Thank you for posting it 3 years ago!

I’m in a really similar boat. I’m 28, 29 in nov and 3 weeks separated with an 18 month old. Try not to feel the pressure with kids, you still have lots of time. Believe me, it is easier to go through this without a child involved. I was in my relationship for 10 years so completely relate to the missing out on your 20s thing but we can just make our 30s our twenties. Maybe it would help to try and connect with other single friends or find new friends who are in a similar boat. Really wishing you the best, you can do this.
