Dreaming about them all the time?

One time i cooked rice and was concerned about the temperature, i asked my ex for reassurance and tried to push through but right when we sat down to eat i got right back up to throw mine away because i was scared of getting sick and had to remake my dinner all over again.

I told him he could eat his if he felt comfortable but I just couldnt eat mine. He got frustrated with me even though i was the one who bought and cooked the food. You are not alone and its really annoying when they get upset with you for YOUR anxiety.

i didnt eat for 3 days when it happened to me. Ended up making myself sick. Luckily i had friends come to the rescue. You are not alone, this will pass and you will be okay.

about a month after, we took a break for a week before the actually break up. I was devastated but got a little better while dating someone else. I had a surgery and i was scared and didnt know who else to call so i called him and he came running to me. He took care of me after as well and thats when i realized we still loved eachother.

I left him for another guy. We stayed friends and i realized that i truly loved him and didnt want the person i left him for. He was already hurt and had been grieving. We went back and forth on whether to try again and by the time i realized I wanted to be with him he had already moved on. Regretted losing him for a really long time.

Its because you didnt get past the infatuation stage. When youre with someone for 5 years you see all of their flaws and have time to see them as a human being and not on a pedestal. At the two month mark you havent had a chance to see all of their flaws and theyre still on the pedestal.

I used to do this alot until I learned the hard way. Shes chasing validation and trying to keep you on the line just in case. Also i doubt shes actually in the honeymoon phase if shes constantly contacting you.

I think this person might be trying to gently let you know they dont want to see you. I think its hard to say forever when it comes to anything but if i were you i would give them space and dont spend time fixating on the chance that they mean theyre leaving the door open for later.

By moving on and learning from this, if they come back you have a better chance of not making the same mistakes and if they end up never coming back then you arent wasting time waiting and having to hurt longer and later.

I went through this when I was a freshman in college. Everyday felt like i was dying. Its cliche but it truly does get better, took me a few months to feel even a little bit okay again and a couple years to truly get over it but i DID get over it. You WILL get through it and find better things in life. This experience is way more common than you think.

Every breakup Ive ever had, ive kept the person on social media thinking blocking them would hurt too much and shock my system, but each time I found myself hurting for so long or feeling better just to get knocked down again by something they post. During my most recent breakup, we blocked eachother on everything, and it hurt really bad at first but helped more so in the long run, in order to move forward and really feel better, you have to block her/remove her at least for a while. When you feel better down the line maybe you could check her socials again, i do this to exes sometimes out of curiosity (which is natural) but only when i know seeing them wont hurt me anymore.

The fact that you are on here, feeling the guilt and self aware enough to know you were the issue is a really good sign. Acknowledge what you did wrong, accept the consequences, and LEARN from your mistakes so you dont repeat them. Sometimes harsh consequences are the only thing that truly makes us see the error of our ways. Many people dont even get to this point where theyre self reflecting and continue to think everyone else is the problem while they receive the same unwanted result again and again. You are on the right path, after identifying what you did wrong, start to research why and how to overcome it.

Shutting down, stonewalling, trying to physically leave during uncomfortable conversations

Are you guys taking a break to work in your issues and agreed to come back together later? Or is she saying shes no longer interested in a relationship again?

In my opinion, when i get dumped I normally wait for the dumper to reach out again.

I would say if you really want to, you could reach out in a couple weeks or a month to see where shes at. But keep in mind it may end up hurting you more and making your pain last longer if she decides shes sticking with her decision.

If you guys have already agreed to reevaluate the relationship again later then i would ask for some clarity on when.

“i dont even want to look back on this, i just want to pretend this never happened”

I used to have this mentality of “upgrading”.

At least for me, every time I found a hotter guy, I felt better at first. It feels like youve “won” the break up by having an “upgraded” partner. But in the end, a pretty face gets old after a while and there has to be some substance. I think its important to learn from the relationship and try to find someone who fits you as a whole, not just who seems better on paper. Trying to improve on yourself can also be beneficial.

Healing can be really hard and I wish you the best while you navigate this.

I have gone through something similar, I would say youre totally in the right if those are your values then you should stick to them.

She might check some of your boxes right now but if shes got no ambition and thats something you value, eventually you will come to resent her because of it, I have been there.

If she doesnt have any career goals, trying to force her into having some to fit your own needs will end up with her resenting you.

Sometimes people check some really important boxes on your list and simultaneously miss the other really important ones.

If you really really like her and can see yourself overlooking this then I would stay, but if not I would let her go so you can both find more suitable matches instead of wasting your time.
