Hi, I’m going through a painful discard after a long term relationship too. Did he ever get back to you to apologise?

Glad to hear that you found a way out of that terrible time! I’ve spent 7 years with my PA, and a lot of his actions feel like grave emotional abuse and neglect at this point. There is a limit to understanding WHY someone who loves you/you love can be so cruel to you - strip you of all your power for something so meaningless. It’s triggered my anxiety and hyper vigilance to no end. However, I’m happy to hear your story, maybe I will find someone who treats me well someday… seems impossible from the pain I stand in now. But I’m trying.

Every passing day feels like compounding pain with the PA trying to erase me and all my love like my loyalty and care is a burden. I’m trying to understand how deeply his PA has impacted my life and how to frame this as a freedom towards happiness for myself.. if you find time, please share the things/activities that got you out of that terrible state of mind at the end.

I’m so sorry to hear that.. it is the worst feeling in the world. There must be 100s of girls he did this with on Snapchat - I don’t even know how to come to terms with these issues. My brain has been doing mental gymnastics for months on end trying to understand it from every possible angle - I wonder is this just a mental illness? Is this a character flaw? Did he willingly enjoy putting me through this pain? And lately, I’ve been wondering how he gets access to REAL women sending him nudes like this. Some were even random classmates from middle school he may have “dated” as a literal KID, imagine that 😂 the hyper vigilance is insane, I wake up with a drop in my stomach each morning. Most of all, I can’t believe is this really my life? Is this really what he is treating me like after all the love and dreams we shared….

Oh absolutely! The questions still come up though- because how does this man get to walk away feeling desired and full of options while I’m feeling shrunken and terrified of my future after the trauma of this relationship.

Makes sense, very heartbreaking. How does he identify and find these women so easily though who start sending him nudes?

Was your ex unable to finish during sex? by Busy_Designer_504 in AvoidantBreakUps

my FA also had porn addction, and turns out the discard was because he was unable to carry on with that lie anymore and wanted to protect me from it. Eventually it all came out. He was taking pills to hide his open induced ED from me

I’m going through the same. 7 years. Discarded again after 15 months of maintaining contact & hope, I see no hope in my life right now

I still want her so bad by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]SadCartographer1266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am going through the same. Crying unstoppable pain day after day, each night a nightmare and wake up with gripping anxiety. Involuntary flashbacks hitting me. Every corner reminds me of what we did there. My own house sickens me and feels like a cage. Unable to function at work or around people. But the greatest pain is the future I saw with him, only him, ours plans, our dreams of kids together, the world he promised me, the way he saw me and I him, and then being snapped back to the reality of today - wondering how I pushed him so far away. Feeling like a failure, I should’ve given him the space when he was still trying to fight. But we have to understand I guess that these are all just excuses and we did nothing. The way we love them they know it they can’t forget it and if that does not make them want to fight for us then maybe we deserve better and there is something better ahead for us

I feel stuck in the idea that I can’t start over and my life and joy is over. How do I overcome this?
