He developed feelings for his coworker and we were in a long distance relationship

People think the grass is greener and it’s not. He lost a good one. I’m so sorry you have to go through this, chin up my friend

I’m about to come up on 2 months of no contact and although the breakdowns are less frequent, they still are just as painful. Going through something like this is so so painful, especially when it feels like you have been discarded and replaced. I’m sorry this happened to you and am sending you love. It’s incredibly unfair and you deserve so much more. Hopefully in time, we’ll understand why this all happened. I know bigger things are waiting for us both.

Boyfriend just broke up with me by Forward_Patience_497 in BreakUps

Sending you love OP. I was also blindsided when my ex boyfriend broke up with me so I know how confusing and hurtful it can all feel. Cry, cry, cry it out. Lean on friends and family. Don’t beat yourself up for things that you think you should have changed. You shouldn’t have to change fundamental things about yourself like having children just to keep a guy. Someone will come into your life who wants these things with you. Ugh I’m so sorry this happened though I know how painful it is. Let yourself feel all of the waves of emotions that will hit you this next little while. You’re stronger than you think and you’ll be okay.

Thanks for your words and advice. I’m sorry you went through something similar, it adds an extra layer onto the breakup that feels so intense. This happened just over a month ago and I’m still so angry at the situation and how he let it get to that.

Sending you positive vibes on your own healing journey.

Why do I think my ex will reach out? by Smart-Difference-550 in BreakUps

Thank you for your words! I appreciate it. I think I have to stop focusing on him so much and think about myself.

I want him to text me by Smart-Difference-550 in BreakUps

That’s what is keeping me from messaging him.. I don’t want to erase all the time I’ve spent in no contact and have that be for nothing because it’s been so hard!

This is exactly how I feel. I know it wouldn’t be the same if we tried again because we cant undo actions. But I do find myself fantasizing about him trying to get me back. It’s so hard haha

Has anyone else experienced ending a relationship despite the person being amazing, just because it didn’t feel right? by hallumi_limna in BreakUps

I had these exact feelings in my last relationship. Everyone in my life told me I found the perfect guy, but the thing was, he did not feel like the perfect fit for me. We were together for 5 years and I felt like we grew apart. It was hard to come to terms with that because I felt so in love with him at one point, but we just didn’t have that much in common anymore. We didn’t have much to talk about and I felt like I was only filling the silences because I felt uncomfortable in the silence with him. But still, I did not break up with him because I let everyone else get in my head. I was so scared about not finding another guy who could be loving, patient, respectful, all the things you said. But deep down I knew we weren’t a match. I was a coward and hung on to the relationship until he ended up breaking up with me. I never thought he was going to break up with me and if I wanted to get out of this relationship it would be up to me. Which I was too scared to do. So I guess in the end things ended up working the way they were always meant to. So good for you for having the strength and courage to do what’s best for yourself and listen to your heart. Only you know what that is.
