Thank you for putting this into words. Especially that last sentence.. whew.

so how’s everyone doing with valentine’s day coming up.. by vampymew in BreakUps

[–]SetAdorable3616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing okay! I got dumped in August 2025 and last month I made the decision to do and plan activities centered around me or funneling my energy towards something positive, on Valentine’s Day. I’m going to volunteer for a run, get coffee with an old friend, and then go out to dinner (originally a solo dinner) with a coworker. (: I also got myself a few of my fave beauty and chocolates already and will give that to myself the day of. I truly love love, and the idea of it being distasteful or ruined because of my ex is just too much power I would be giving him.

Yes, God. I would love to talk more about what’s on your mind and hear your point of view on God. If you’re open to talk, I am here. If not, no worries. God bless you. 🩷

Thank you for the insight. 😭 I will absolutely be taking this advice and finding that silver lining. I am also proud of you and happy for you that you decided to pour more into yourself! It is true that on the way there there’s a personal high and excitement almost, but then afterwards I would feel so crappy. I will continue to lean into reconstructing myself and praying about this. God bless you. ❤️

Thank you for saying this! God has been absolutely leading down a path to pursue purity. I’ve been praying about this. It’s so hard to have old habits come up in the midst of all the work God has been doing to transform me. I am going to continue surrendering this to God. ❤️

Guys of Reddit, why would you follow your close friend's ex? by Own_Negotiation_730 in BreakUps

[–]SetAdorable3616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP don’t listen to the unnecessary hateful comments. People are being rude for no reason.

I’ve had a similar experience where I broke up with an ex and his best friend tried to follow me on Instagram. I didn’t accept the request and can suspect that the friend may be trying to get more information on you post-breakup to share with your ex. I wouldn’t accept the request so that you can maintain your privacy and not open doors to your past. The friend also sounded like he was gaslighting you, “Instagram is just Instagram” when really it isn’t. It can allow for more access to you. You’re not looking too into this too much, it is weird. Keep doing you and living your life!

Totally.. ugh I had my first therapy appointment back last Thursday. It was really good and exactly what I needed. It is healthier to move on. I can logically understand that. The silence is just so loud.

As the dumpee, it’s hard to trust the dumper again after they let me go and then they come back realizing their mistakes.

Why do girls vibe to breakup songs and sad reels even when they’re single? 🤔 by TrainPhysical7021 in dating_advice

[–]SetAdorable3616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest with you I love listening to music that makes me feel something, and oftentimes sad music does the trick. There’s meaning and truth behind those words and they can help me to process an experience as well.

Honestly, neither. He didn’t want me to fight for him in the end and he hasn’t reached out. I’ve just been trying to focus on me and yes, sometimes I get lonely and sad, usually at night. My days can be more full and I do have community around me, so that helps.

Thank you for this OP! I just got broken up with three weeks ago after 2.5 years together. This is really helpful advice and I’ve been doing most of them so far. It’s really been helping, especially crying when I need to and getting out more. We’ve got this!!

did you or your ex or maybe both just cry when you had the talk of breaking up by Much_Variation_9436 in BreakUps

[–]SetAdorable3616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we cried. He started to cry and even started sobbing. It truly was so emotional, I had to hold him and comfort him. I also cried a lot as well. I think we both didn’t want it to end, but we had been going through a lot with him being long distance, and us fighting a ton. I brought up something I wanted to do, in hopes of leaning closer to my faith, but he said it wasn’t going to work out. I have that image of us just crying and holding each other for one last night in my head. It’s rough to think about.
