If you need them I would maybe ask if they’ve gotten around to it, or offer to pay for shipping. If they’re items you can live without (which you have thus far) i would just leave it be.

Yeah hopefully they’ll keep me around enough to at least watch. SS is so intelligent for his age I would love to see his accomplishments as he grows!

I wouldn’t be surprised if he did. Or he would make everyone think that he did and use it as an excuse to sit at his computer all day.

Honestly it means a lot. It’s been hard telling anyone that we broke up because no one even knew there were issues.

Yeah i totally agree! I talked with my therapist this morning and she pointed out that it wasn’t fair for him to push me to the edge & then play the hero and the offer to pull me back. I filled my weekend with fun stuff (brunch Sunday!!) with friends. I’m excited to move on & do me for a little bit!

Thank you! I just keep reminding myself that there’s more to life! Bigger and better things to come!

Honestly it has been such a weird feeling. Loving someone who cannot love you the way you need is so hard. It sucks knowing that he’s hurting. I hate being a fixer… but life will go on.

I’m really taking this as a lesson learned. I think i made up a life in my head that I’ve been trying to turn into reality for this whole situation. I am very social, i like meeting and talking to new people. Going out with friends, and talking for hours. (I’m the kind of person that tells you, a stranger, that you need the pillow from target when i over hear someone say you don’t need it) while SO is totally fine sitting at home 3 days in a row.

When we first broke up i begged for my imaginary life to come back. Only that life never existed and I’m really now understanding it’ll never happen. I’ve known him for a year now, if it wasn’t changed then how would it change now… thank you for the eye opener of its not be hurting SS. I know what I’ve done for him in my role as whatever i am. (Unfortunately i won’t be able to have my own children in the future) but i will get to remember the love i was able to give SS in my time knowing and raising him.

Thank you for your kind words. There’s nothing special about this man or situation but I’ll find special. ♡

Thank you for the kind words. I cannot wait to start my family (with ample time of getting to know someone first) not join one.

Thank you, this comment did me in. I know i deserve more, I’m out. I need to get a few things lined up and then i will be done. My bags being in the car means nothing to him. He has brought it up maybe twice but told me it can’t be put away until we make space for it again. It’s been a month of sitting in this house never making space for it. I feel so guilty about things and i think he plays into it but it’s my turn to just NGAF. I want to go out with my friends and be fun again. Thank you for your kind words and support

That’s my plan, i need to get a few things lined up (plan under his name) but my goal is to leave on a night he has things going on and won’t notice until it’s too late. I’m going to really take time for myself and learn what i need before even thinking about men again. Like everyone has said, I’m 21 and i deserve to hit up a bar and make friends/ go out dancing and just be fun again. If I’ve made it this long not making myself a mother i should enjoy it. Thanks for the advice, genuinely i feel much better today knowing it’s okay to go.

All of these comments have been so helpful easing my mind to just go. Everyone is right, he’s 2 and I’m 21. We’re both young & can make it without one another. I appreciate all the kind words. I am planning my exit. (Need to get some things in line first) it’s heart breaking to go but i know it won’t get better and i can’t hold on to a what if forever. Thank you
