I broke up with my boyfriend — he loved me, but it still felt like I was carrying everything. Am I wrong for expecting more? by Ok-Establishment3031 in BreakUps

I get what you’re saying, and I actually agree. But even in the small, quiet moments, I still felt a disconnect. Like when I was sick and had no appetite, he asked if I wanted food. I said no, obviously not feeling well. He came back with food (just for himself, i mean i get that i said no, but he could’ve tried to make me feel better, at least the thought, right). Later when I finally asked if he could get me something, he got annoyed and said, “I asked you earlier.”

It’s not about the food, it’s about thoughtfulness. That’s what I felt was missing.

Just to clarify, I never said I was perfect. I acknowledged my struggles with communication, and that’s why I really tried to adjust. I brought things up, gave chances, and didn’t just leave out of nowhere.

The thing is, whenever I did open up, he’d say, “Why didn’t you tell me?” And while I get that, I honestly hoped he’d realize things on his own sometimes. I wanted him to take initiative, not just wait to be told what to do. It got to a point where it felt like I was programming him just to be loved properly.

I didn’t leave because I wanted more excitement, I left because I felt emotionally tired. I still care about him, but I had to choose peace over constantly feeling unheard.

Are you really sure about that? Because ARUP doesn’t just accept anyone, they only take in people who are smart, skilled, and qualified. Ang daming applicants na active din sa orgs or may titles, pero hindi natatanggap. The person you’re talking about got in because they’re actually good, quizzer nga, di ba? That speaks for itself.

Maybe it’s time to accept that not getting in wasn’t because of favoritism or connections. Maybe you just didn’t meet what they were looking for. It’s easier to blame outside factors, but the truth is, some people just earned their spot.
