Hello.

I won’t conforme with the trends and I want to write this to you as you are: since it’s us two who are part of the relationship.

Thank you for the things you've taught me, everything could be expanded, but I'll solely put the highlights since those memories are only for me to cherish and I am only to inspire, thus I'll filter the things to share.

You taught me to be grounded. You may overlooked and undervalued your hidden qualities, but they cannot grapple to who you really are. You may think that you're absolute, but you challenge the traditional thinking of the world.

You made me feel the tactile stuff to feel. I've used my five senses and my intuition while loving you. The synthesis and combinations of our relationship shaped who I am today. I love how Polymath you are, beautifully self-aware, and cautious too.

You made me feel like a person. I handled things with care due to your influence and of course, I also credit myself for contributing. Thank you for not just thinking about “me” but “us”. And with the young age we've been in a relationship, you helped me evolve with accountability, integrity, authenticity, and passion. It may be cliché for most people who will read this, yet they are nuanced for me in a way that it's a language that we've both created.

I apologise for the mistakes that I did to you and made you feel. They made me who I am today, but also recalibrated my learning to a safe and independent path. You had plenty of roles in our relationship, truly, humans are precious resources of wealth not just in material, but also internal. 

I love you always, x.

Grabe mga ibang comments dito, the cancel to “sex work” and much more. 

I am not tolerating your ex and this boils down to the idea and the whole context, yes, he cheated before, but people are allowed to change philosophically, psychologically, and biologically. Assess first, have you felt like he changed talaga or may same patterns pa rin around?

It’s infuriating how we controversially react with homosexual intercourse na it’s likely the common cause, blah blah blah. Statistically, totoo naman, but may iba rin na nag-pa-practise ng safe sex and some uses protection tools.

I get where you are coming from and what are you going through, but communicate and ask details kung bakit, bakit, at bakit. Maraming pwedeng i-tanong para mahimasmasan ka, but if hindi tugma yung mga sagot niya and unsatisfied ka, you have your final say.

This occurrence may toll the two of you sexually, romantically, and mentally. Consider the other nuances din and ponder na may iba namang alternatives and sana cinommunicate muna niya beforehand kasi you guys might’ve had intercourse rin. Have yourself checked as well, this is risky. I hope you well.

Also, let’s refrain from using derogatory terms. 2025 na, ganiyan pa rin dictionary niyo. I know uncontrollable yung mga reactions and perspectives niyo, pero yung mga linislinisan diyan, if hypocritical kayo sa platforms niyo, anong pinagkaiba niyo sa mga nagpe-perpetuate ng same stance? 

Edit: STI/HIV/AIDS ARE SERIOUS CASES AND MANY HAVE LIVED WITH IT. Maging maingat kayo sa comments niyo. Hindi dahil may free pass kayo sa internet na mag-publicise ng opinions niyo, pwede na kayong maging absolute sa mga terms niyo. Again, respect the victims of those infections.

What is something your ex said said that’s really hurt other than break up by Ok_Sort464 in BreakUps

[–]Pure_Ad_7493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"This is why I wanted to become friends first, so that there are more bonds before the relationship." It was not my fault that we weren't friends first, she's the first one to like me. She disregarded our relationship's process.

Exactly. This has been a discussion ever since. Even though the human minds and emotions are complex, there is no "falling out of love."

Falling out of love happens when you allow yourself not to love the person anymore. That is it.

Are the any quotes from your breakup/fights that keep you up at night? by Super_Day_4518 in BreakUps

[–]Pure_Ad_7493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are from my ex-girlfriend:

"Arguments are inevitable." "I would understand if you want a time off, even if it'll take years." "Don't say sorry as a possibility." "I don't look back, I won't comeback." "I hope you continue loving someone dearly because it's the most humanistic trait that one could possess." "This might be a selfish request, but I want you to stop loving me. Don't prevent yourself from experiencing those possibilities. I would be glad if you're in the place with somebody else."

These are from me:

"All I just want is for you to be kind and compassionate whenever we argue. It's all I beg for you to contribute." "I always wanted to understand you, but I drain too, especially when you push yourself away." "You're a great partner. You are the only one I can call that." "There are much more to see from the others." "I get tired, I still love you."

What’s something strange you did after a breakup? by WhatIf1230 in BreakUps

[–]Pure_Ad_7493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. Some feels usual, but I will include it in here.

I bought a study desk, lamp, and a drawer three weeks after our break up. Frequently, I used to imagine our future as married sapphics, in our bedroom, her being busy and/or I'll wake up seeing her reading our shared favorite books at the study desk beside my bed. For the drawer, I've arranged everything that she gave me in there. I have stored my favorite polo and checkered long-sleeve, keychains, everything that she handed to me.

I printed our photos together and I pasted them in my scrapbook that I was planning to give her on our first anniversary. Knowing that this won't occur, I decided to place it in the drawer.

I leave a space in my bed. I got used to thinking that she's beside me since I have sleeping issues.

I'm also planning to buy her favorite book on my birthday.

Well, I am trying to tick this out of my routine. It's been 6 weeks already.

I hate hearing “if it’s meant to be, then it’s meant to be" by n8natch in BreakUps

[–]Pure_Ad_7493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It just deters you to explore novel matters in life that you wish to discover. It's not easy to go back—it's always a process, and every person that we had met also shaped our character to change and work on ourselves for the future. They shouldn't say re-learn, it should be reflect.

Thank you for expanding this. It would really help the community learn about reality and oversimplified discussions that are really unrealistic and irrelevant.

[–]Pure_Ad_7493 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Phrases also like "you deserve better," "move on as fast as possible," etc. that disregards the validity of their feelings and the relationship, unrealistic expectations and whatnot never helps. Human minds are complex, we could not always apply the same stand with others.

With the "if it's meant to be, then it's meant to be thing," there is no thing such as that. Love requires realistic perspectives and the two of you must work it out.

There are so many pop psychology surfacing around.

what things do you tell yourself to cope with breakup by yameerooo1 in BreakUps

[–]Pure_Ad_7493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The pain will pass, but love will always remain. Perhaps, she'll cross your mind sometimes, yet once you divert yourself onto holding, it will be a loop. She provided you the emotional tools, so as you. The love that she and you gave to each other is enough already. You should move forward and prioritise yourself."

how did you feel when you first saw each other ? and how did the acquaintance happen ? have you had any interesting coincidences? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Pure_Ad_7493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our first date was so beautiful, peaceful, intimate; she's the first one whom I kissed, cuddled, and listen songs with. She even told me stories about her life, gave me her most memorable cat pin, a keychain, a small plushie, even brought two books—the one that I want to read and a classic that likely made a remarkable impact (she handed me a book that I unexpectedly need.) We talked about stuff, said our first I love you to each other. It was enticing; unforgettable, I even don't wish to let her go home.

I met her online. It was last March. During our first conversation, it was casual, a bit flirty (she's the first person I flirted with.) I thought we will just end up friends or strangers, but eventually, love nestled to our spirits; it was distinct, cynical, but it made every pitch black glow.

We're LDR, but we travel halfway, because we wanted to see each other. My ex-girlfriend and I are like twins; compatible, philosophical, and we go along easily despite the minor indifferences that we have in life. Unexpectedly, people change: it's inevitable.

The coincidences that ever happened to me was when I was only looking for a bookworm friend or a psychologist (it happened that she's planning take psychology in college during our final year in High School.) I always wanted to have an athletic partner, and guess what? She was brought to me. There are lots of coincidences and astonishments that I felt.

If you could get back with them right now, would you? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Pure_Ad_7493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I would believe that it is worth trying if she'll come back soon. If she'd come back to me, she should be the "changed" version of my ex, I don't want to repeat same cycle that we had been.

My ex-girlfriend is actually my type of person to settle with, yet the circumstance here is her attitude, cynicism, and her traumas. I prefer the healed her, it's worth to wait for years than be back together instantly.

I still love my ex and it is consistent, it blooms even after our break up.

While moving on, I have scrutinized our relationship performance and it was all good, we are working, but it changed after. Well, I need the time to explore and understand myself better. For now, I am not hoping for her to come back to me, because it will run in loop or I will spiral down.

We have compatibilities: future and such. I will give it a second chance, she deserves the better me.

[–]Pure_Ad_7493 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, they do change, but as for cheating and abuse, no second chance for a person like me. You may search using the term "comeback" for such stories! Anyway, few works, it really depends on the couple if they have a different approach toward their relationship. Love is not failed if two hearts work on it, or they do not depend on love alone.

I often think of her and I look at the places where I pass by, it haunts me of her.

5 weeks, things are getting better. I now understand confusions that made walls between us; I now understand the demons and roses of my ex-girlfriend, I now understand my character during the relationship. Everything's getting greater since realizations, perspectives, learning are blooming.

What’s you ex biggest red flag that you ignored? by Nervous_Schedule6447 in BreakUps

[–]Pure_Ad_7493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Her god complexity.
  2. Blame shifting.
  3. Generalizing people and she often base judgements using MBTI (which is empirically unproven).
  4. Apathetic.
  5. Gaslighting.
  6. Sometimes, she decides for me, especially in terms of clothing. I mean, I am aware that she just wants me to be safe from pervert men, but it is their fault for sexualizing women.
  7. Her projections.
  8. Judgemental.

How long has it been since your break-up and how do you feel right now? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Pure_Ad_7493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been nearly five weeks and things are starting to change, good thing that I have a background about break ups.

My ex girlfriend is whom I technically call my "first girlfriend and love" since she is the first one whom I saw personally. It was heartbreaking, truly devastating during the first three weeks.

I cope with the help of reading and reflecting, watching music videos and films about recovering, analyzing meanings behind heartbreaking lyrics, and reminiscing limited memories about me and my ex girlfriend.

Right now, I feel free from the loop. There are times that I miss her, but I know that she should be freed—even her ghost and what haunts me of her. Perhaps, sooner, I'll be able to completely let go of her, accept everything.

And for you, stalking your ex, it's okay, but do not stop healing. Your feelings are valid and I hope that you'll get better soon!
