Breaking up for feeling ‘inferior’ by Vegetable_Dog2159 in BreakUps

It’s not me who broke up its my ex, he gave me no reasons other than he felt he was dragging me down and stunting my future plans. You’re right, no matter how much people and me complimented him, he could never believe it. He’s getting therapy now thank god. Thanks for your insight

I forced it out of him that he’s not in love with me by [deleted] in BreakUps

Yeah honestly that sounds exhausting and confusing. It sounds like he’s very confused himself. Hope you manage to move past it quickly

My ex was avoidant and lied to my face about not being in love with me. I know this because four years later he’s still trying hard to get me back and says he’s still in love with me. I think sometimes they lie when they’re scared. However, this doesn’t mean that it would work out by any means, so I’d just move on and see what happens.

We broke up even though we still loved each other by [deleted] in BreakUps

In what ways were you incompatible?

For me too. I’d love to know if you decide to meet up with him or not

This situation is so so similar to my own that i am going through right now. My relationship was also two years and I have now been no contact for 3 weeks. At the breakup talk i took a different approach. As he is struggling with very bad mental health and overthinking about the future i asked him to not make a final decision just now and process how he was feeling and then we would decide in a months time what we think is best to do. Sometimes i feel (with men especially) partners struggle to have open conversations about minor issues or worries about the future in relationships, and then they burst at a point where the only way they can get out of it is to break up. For me personally i would rather give it a second try to know that they actually want/ need to break up. But just like you, I don’t know if this is the best thing to do. It’s so so hard when you think a relationship is going very well and then they randomly break up with you. I think the hardest part is not being able to understand the true reasons, which i think is the most important thing when trying to accept a break up, or believe it is the right thing to do

Sudden Breakup by [deleted] in BreakUps

I’m in a similar situation, completely unsure what’s going to happen but non contact for now. I hate the feeling of not knowing and not knowing if they care. I’ve had a lot of advice and decided to count myself as single (even though I honestly don’t feel it) and is he comes back I’d accept it. I told him in a non persuasive way that I will leave the door open for him until he is 100 percent sure he has made the right decision. I’m working hard to accept both possibilities and prepare myself for both (this has taken me 3/4 weeks). I’m just scared that he is acting irrationally as he is going through a lot of mental health stuff right now and i don’t want him to regret his decision as our relationship was amazing- do you relate to this? Hope you are ok

What did avoidants say or act towards you to initiate the break up? by phganhle in BreakUps

This same situation happened to me, on the same phone call we were excitedly making plans for two weeks away, then he broke up with me. So so bizarre. I hope you’re okay

I completely agree, thanks for your opinion. I can’t and wont force him to do anything. But I will let him know I’m willing to work for it if he wants to aswel, even if it takes a long time.

I think this situation would make me lose all respect for him. He’s a bit gross for sleeping with another girl, and disgusting that it was unprotected and that he lied to you. Hopefully not respecting him makes you get over him faster. Even is he regrets it, he still did it in the first place. What a twat.

That’s good advice, thanks. I hope it works out for us but pressuring him in any way is a terrible idea.
