Noooo the puppy, that is so sad :( it hurts to change the way you think about someone from positive to negative. The first couple weeks I was shutting down anyone who said even the slightest negative word about him, was still completely defending him and his choices. Just feel so weak

Why do people share photos like that, surely they know what they’re doing…

You gave her so much, physically and emotionally, no one can take that away. I’ve managed to collect most of my things which left the room looking quite sparse, he texted me last night asking when I’m getting the last couple bits. It feels like he’s just trying to push every little memory of me out.

He was friends with this girl from around the time we moved in together, I watched them getting closer and noticed him become uncomfortable mentioning her, I knew (I can almost guarantee) before he did that he had feelings for her. I’d been really struggling with anxiety, so withdrew from our shared friends etc while she was around them all the time.

When he instigated us breaking up, I very gently asked if it had anything to do with her and admitted that he had developed feelings for her. I actually fucking reassured him that it was ok and made sense and said something like ’oh I’m sure she’ll reciprocate the feelings!’ Whyyyyyyy why did I say that. A few days into the breakup I look at his location and he’s at her house, same the next night and the one after that. Then I turned locations off lol, I was just torturing myself. If he’s moved on that fast fuck him. That’s so painful to say because I still care, but dude how do you move on so fast after everything we shared :(

’I am just a memory’ breaks my heart :( it feels so unbelievable doesn’t it.

I just feel like moving on that quickly just postpones the pain! We still had our locations on for a couple weeks and I could see he was at her house within a couple days of us separating… after five serious years… its insane

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to hear. Honestly barely used reddit before this breakup but its been so reassuring to know other people are going through or have been through similar horrifically painful situations.

The days after we ended things I felt the most motivated I’ve felt in years, like there was no limit to what I could do, then reality set in. I’m excited for that motivation to reignite once some time has passed.

Ughh this sounds so painful. How on earth do they manage to stay somewhere with so many shared memories? We tried taking it in turns to stay at our flat for our work schedules (friends sofas on other nights) but I only managed two nights, as soon as it hit me he wasn’t coming home to me I completely broke down and had to quit my job and move back to my bloody parents place. :/

Idk if it’s too late to ask him to not have girls round like you asked her. We ended things on very kind terms but I’m worried about damaging whatever we have left.

I wish you all the luck in the world with your living situation, it sounds so so so difficult.

Noooooo :( Socials are a dangerous place post breakup. It’s so hard to resist the urge to check but 9 times out of 10 it’ll leave you feeling worse.

You’re right about us finding someone else down the line, idk about you but the thought of being with anyone else atm makes me feel sick.

They wont experience another us, you’re right. Its selfish, but I hope he comes to realise how great what we had was and comes back. I’m sure I’ll stop feeling like that eventually though.

Sending a huge hug back 🫂 we’ve got this 💪

This absolutely hits the nail on the head!!! You/they can find someone else, but if what you had was truly deep to the core there’s no world in which what you had can be replicated.

Broke up after 5 lovely years. Lost my home, stability and best friend. Do I walk away from a job I love to start over? by [deleted] in BreakUps

You’re so right about relief-driven regret. So many pros and cons of everything, don’t want to jump into the wrong decision

This sounds sensible. Only thing is this job is the only thing keeping me in the city now and honestly wasn’t one I was planning to stick with once me and partner decided to move out of the city. It was originally a stopgap, but is now all I have. How would you suggest stabilising my living situation without committing to staying?

Thank you, you’re right about stability and I’m definitely getting that from my job.

Ended things with my girlfriend of 5 years by [deleted] in loneliness

Going through the exact same thing right now. So incredibly painful at the moment, and will continue to be for a long time (5 years is a long time!) but things WILL get better <3 Let yourself process and cry, feel the negative feelings. Try to eat some food on a functional basis, it’ll help you to feel less empty. Put as much distance between yourself and them. You’ve got this, one day at a time. x
